African Scream Contest really features artists from Benin and Togo with the stunning Orchestre Poly-Rythmo rising to the top for me ! Overall. kind of a James Brown meets early Pink Floyd with some Otis Redding taped on the side for good measure. The CD package is also very well done with a nice big booklet covering the history of Soul-Psych in this African region.
