I was just listening to Yeke Yeke and that album this week and love it. It is highly danceable and melodic and fun. I first heard it while working as an Aid worker in Iraq 1991 and we used to dance to it for hours, blasting out of the open doors of our 4X4s! I have to admit the snyths were a bit obnoxious but not overly so and my approach to this is to accept the music on its own, not because of who performs it. As good Euro dance music it is fantastic. As Rail Band...it fails!ajnabi1957https://www.blogger.com/profile/09233755392134647787noreply@blogger.com
