Golf's verdict: Sounds quite a lot like early Happy Mondays. This is not a good thing. First three quarters was relatively melody-based, but final side was a discordant irritant. 

Maire's verdict: 
Shush! Actually, just shut the fuck up.


Album 763/1031

Jorge Ben Jor - Africa Brasil (1976)




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81frica_Brasil

Golf's verdict: Maire's right. Rod Stewart definitely ripped one of these off!

Maire's verdict: 
Not my genre. 'Taj Mahal' reminded me of 'Do You Think I'm Sexy?', which kept me mildly amused through this seemingly very long album.
