Got 2 songs in and had to turn it off. Like someone wanted to try and get every instrument into each song 5 times over. Hurt my head.

3/5

Never listened to African music before so wasnt sure what to expect. Not what I would normally listen to but thats the beauty of this project. Listening to things you havent heard before. This was really nice to listen to when working. Just had it on in the background and went through it in no time. Probably wouldnt listen to it again but really enjoyed it.
