| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews It's easy to forget just what a world music pioneer Johnny Clegg was. Back in the '80s he was the first to mix rock and Zulu music, and scored a few global hits doing it. He's still going strong, doing exactly the same thing he's always done but it still sounds great, and remarkably fresh and passionate. Perhaps his greatest strengths are that he makes no concession to musical fashion, and that he's never lost the true foundation of his music in South African Zulu culture. The conviction along with several powerful, anthemic choruses carries him through. The big question is exactly who it will appeal to. There's a retro flavor to the music that still tastes of the '80s, but in a good way, and with that decade never having quite gone out of style, that works for him. The true bottom line is that this is good music, made from the heart, with fire and soul and that always stands the test of time. - Chris Nickson, All Music Guide |

Pros: fresh, well-layered music, excellent mood
Cons: nothing
already owning practically everything that johnny and/or juluka have put out, i was very excited to find that he had recorded a new cd (i got this a year after the release!)
it took me a couple listens to really get into it, but after a week, i could hardly turn it off. i've now had this cd for a year and it is just as good. nearly every song on the cd is fantastic and the production is so good, that there's nearly always something new to be heard in the music.
i listen to a very wide variety of music own well over a thousand cd's. even after a year, i can honestly say that this is one of my all-time favourite cd's in any genre. it really is that good... ...
