Damon's definetely the queen....and a sleepy sounding one at that.

Simon Tong's a boring guitar player. Sorry, Transmission, but it's true. His
work here is equally yawnsome.

And for all that talk of African rhythms -- given the presence of Fela's
drummer on the project -- several tracks seem to have no obvious percussion
at all. It's all pretty downbeat and, well, dull.
