On these recordings, taken from sessions that will comprise the group’s second album, Side Effects (released in October 2001), all instruments are played by the core of the group, percussionists Richard Olatunde Baker and Lou Ciccotelli. Largely improvised in the studio, they use a wider range of instruments than in the past – among others talking drums, Sakara (Nigerian tonal drums) and Brekete (bass drums with a buzzing sound from Ghana, played on Escape from Evil by Nana Tsiboe).
