Marc O'Reilly - My Friend Marx

You won't find any new-age doohickeys on the credits of this LP, but Marc O'Reilly still serves up real flashes of brilliance. The hushed French mumblings on 'La Question; are hopelessly hip, the breakneck guitar on 'Tell Old Joe' is rather trilling and our master of ceremonies deserves massive props for managing to segue from Afro rhythms to near classical guitar so effortlessly on 'An African Day'.
