The message was enormously positive on the debut
Oneness of Juju
record, and for the follow-up, bandleader
Plunky Branch
developed a lighter, more free sound to parallel the consciousness-raising themes. Make no mistake: the group plays just as tight as on
African Rhythms
, but here the emphasis is on creating an atmosphere instead of approximating a religious ritual. As on the first record, the opener is the hands-down highlight;
Plunky
latches onto a short, playful theme, stretches it out into a vibrant solo, and returns to it often over the course of eight minutes (even switching from tenor to alto after a few minutes). Pianist
Joe Bonner
also contributes a solid solo, and vocalist
Eka-Ete Jackie Lewis
sounds powerful but very calm and controlled, wordlessly vocalizing her own solo underneath
Bonner
and
. Quieter numbers like
"Soul Love Now"
"Love's Messenger"
rely more on exploratory percussion than a steady
rock
backbeat, but
"Space Jungle Funk"
"Got to Be Right on It"
are two of the heaviest tracks the band had cut up to that point. As on the first, great playing from a tuned-in band carries the day over an occasional lack of innovation or imagination. [The 2002 reissue on
Strut
added the previously unreleased track
"F#"
to the program.] ~ John Bush
