Bless up! I hail from Chicago and the DJ's played a lot of Roy's jam on the radio back in the '80's. However, I was in Japan in the '90's and I came across this Roy Album that I never heard before that date and it blew my mind and I became a bigger fan of Roy and a new fan of Fela.

I had just graduated from high school overseas two years before the release of ACOTW ( rel. 1980 ). So when the fam and I got back Stateside that year, I didn't know that this had already been released. Fast forward to 1983: shortly after being inducted into the Navy, I continued my training in A & C school the following year at Fleet Combat Training Center in Virginia Beach. Unlike the other sailors that went on liberty who went north to the strip, instead I headed west to Norfolk. Back in the days before the internet, I knew almost instinctively where to go to get good music. At that time there had been a record and tape shop on Granby St a few blocks away from the former Judge's Chambers on Monticello Ave. I don't recall having seen this album there at the time ( I picked up anything by Roy that I saw in any record store ); I wound up buying what was a follow up, Lots Of Love. Lots Of Love was the culmination of the projects done with Nigerian multi_instrumentalist, Fela Kuti. To this day Lots Of Love remains my favorite Roy Ayers album. It was not until years later that I even became acquainted with the work on ACOTW. It seems like this one was a sleeper - I don't know. Yet still as far as Roy Ayers endeavors, go it's solid! 😎 To this day, my favorite track on the album is River Niger. Third Eye is somethin' 2 cruise to and I'm warming up to the others as well 🎼🎵🎶

I too am a life long Roy Ayers fan since the 70's. He brought that jazz fusion on those vibes. I have probably all his albums either on vinyl, cassette,and CD. I don't think my 8tracks withstood the test of time. But from college to the military Roy had something for every journey your ear and mind could endure. Another one of favorites was Everbody loves the Sunshine especially on a beautiful weekend morning. I loved to ride and listen to that jam while cruising. All his music so mellow and funky in a smooth way. Still putting it out there.

Toda cultura que basificou tudo o que conhecemos de grandiosidade indiana veio de Áfrika, mais especificamente de Kush. Civilizações como Harapa e Mohenjo Daro são pretas, matriarcais e sedentárias em sua origem, dando criação a sociedades organizadas em cidades, com sistemas de irrigação e agricultura, além de Yoga, Tantra e etc, que são conhecimentos Keméticos, do antigo KMT.
