Editorial Review: Product Description: This record owes as much to Can, Eno, and MIA as it does to Kuti, Francis Bebey, and Funkadelic. There's no loss of steam as this Michigan collective incorporates new influences. NOMO breaks through with a matured and developed sound that's fully their own. They've shared stages with Earth Wind And Fire, Konono No. 1, Sharon Jones, and Dan Deacon. RIYL: Konono No. 1, Can, Fela Kuti, Charles Mingus, MIA, Radiohead. Customer Reviews

More edge and a bit more electronics that makes Ghost Rock sit right in between greats like Miles Davis, Can, Eno and M.I.A. - Yea, it's that good. Check this out! |
