    Awesome African sounds...

    Pros: Sounds, and the journey

    Cons: Some of the singing...

    This album is one that sticks with me after 20 years - predates Paul Simon's Graceland and blows it away - what a great journey it is, listening to the Rhythmatist. Love it.

  • Overall:

    worth doing it again, this time

    with less PC stuff, more open, loud and kicking!
    regatta de blanc goes africa kind of thing.

Pro Reviews: Rhythmatist

  • All Music Guide

    With the breakup of the Police, the bandmembers found themselves free to indulge their personal musical obsessions. And so while Sting made a very lucrative venture into working with jazz musicians -- a logical step for a bassist -- Stewart Copeland made a drummer's pilgrimage to Africa. Combining field recordings with Copeland's multi-instrumental work in an Assyrian studio, The Rhythmatist is light years ahead of his sophomorically amiable work as Klark Kent. The album and accompanying video didn't make much of a dent in any market, except among fellow drummers and die-hard Police fans. It's an unfortunate oversight, because its enthusiastic world music fusion has held up better than the other Police solo efforts of this period. The album as a whole focuses on (not surprisingly) the rhythm section of tastefully syncopated drums and percussion against a backdrop of atmospheric synthesizers. Ray Lema's chorused vocals over the pulsing beat of "Koteja" are absolutely hypnotic, while Cop...eland's dry narration after the clattering drum solo of "Serengeti Long Walk" is awkwardly endearing. - Paul Collins, All Music Guide Read more Less

Stewart Copeland

After rising to international stardom with the Police, Stewart Copeland largely rejected his pop music past to pursue a career as a composer, authoring a prolific series of film scores, operas, and ballets. Born July 16, 1952 in Alexandria, Egypt, Copeland -- the son of a CIA agent -- spent his formative years in the Middle East but attended college in California before... Read more
