Not necessarily for its original topic... more than anything, just cuz this is just some Voodoo Appreciation ish.

Voodoo is one of the best ALBUMS in my collection... by that, I mean it works as a whole piece, as well as a song by song deal. It's best heard from the beginning to the end... Playa Playa as its intro, Africa as its winding down piece.

The transitions are so smooth. The same atmosphere permeates the entire piece, it feels like one giant meandering composition. (Oddly enough, my mind jumps to the musical Ragtime, which feels like one giant really really good song to me :) )

It never feels choppy. Even going from slower pieces to faster pieces... (The Root to Spanish Joint, Chicken Grease to One Mo Gin).

Dammit, another Voodoo day.
