The 1973 album that still doesn’t disappoint Brian Eno over 50 years on: “Absolutely brilliant”

The 1973 album that still doesn’t disappoint Brian Eno over 50 years on: “Absolutely brilliant”Sometimes it’s hard to cut through the noise, the fat, the excess layers of a genre to get to its true heart, and Brian Eno knows more than most about that struggle. There’s no disappointment on the album at all,” Eno later said in its four-song defence. While constituting it as an album may be controversial, in his eyes, it was still everything that a complete story needs to be. Even comparing it to some other examples across Kuti’s extensive discography, Eno could tell the difference straight away. Kuti never compromised on energy, quality, or ambition, and it was this, above all else, that made him the true Afrobeat genius.
