Comment: although Walking
Fast, Not Running is an afro-futurist issue it does not originate from the
Black Continent but instead of it coming from Lebanon, Asia by a talented
musician, Charif Megarbane who is also being known as the protagonist in Cosmic
Analog Ensemble, another fabulous project. With regard to the recent issue he
reversed his name to produce analogue based dusty sonic vibes drawn out from light-hearted
reed organs and short brass bleeped toots and dynamic rhythmic rattles create
an unforgettable, haunting event. The issue is based on two compositions
clocking in at a 23-minute each. To differentiate it slightly from the
classical tradition of afro-futurism the musician adds some hip-hop scratches
and cut-up voice samples to the blend. As much as it used to be an example of
dance music it is as much a chill out one as well. In a nutshell, it is a
must-hear issue.
