Egyptian Lover

Since the Arabian Prince link got blocked I decided to post one of his colleagues in the soulsonic sound game aptly name Egyptian Lover.....All these soulsonic funk guys love the Middle East and Africa and Egyptian Lover is obviously no exception...and although this album was released in 1984 and the blog is the best of NEW music from around the world this sound and album was way ahead of its time and is slowly becoming relevant again in the hip-hop, dance and underground realms of funk, disco and boogie. Music always goes in cycles; as far as trends in popular music and equally in underground music....so here we are 2009 enjoying albums that were released while we were in the womb or nursing...anyways great production on this album awesome vocals and lyrical content is rather quirky and, although cheesy, the album cover is sick.....look up pictures of him now.....big contrast hahaha....
