African Head Charge collects different elements of world music and combines them with a Western sensibility -- but rather than changing them into pop songs the way Peter Gabriel or Jah Wobble might, they work with dub, trippy psychedelia, and trance.

The dub and reggae influences make the album even more appealing -- "Animal Law" is like electronic dub, and the title track, "Somebody Touch I" is a bright and almost cutesy take on dub and reggae. In any genre, dub, trance, electronica, or world music, In Pursuit of the Shashamane Land would stand up as a spectacular album. ~ Nitsuh Abebe, Rovi
