"An extraordinary and wonderful collaboration." - Billboard

"Rare and unique doesn't even begin to describe this album." - Music Week

In 1990, Biggie Tembo left one of Africa's most successful bands "The Bhundu Boys" to start a solo career. The extraordinary repercussions of this act were not to be felt until some time later. The Bhundu Boys were published by Island Music, so when Biggie left the band, Island Records decided to take him on to their label as a solo artist. Startled Insects were also with Island Records at this time, and for some unknown reason (a hunch, perversity?), the man in charge suggested that Biggie might try and work with them. They had just brought out an album of esoteric instrumental music called "Curse of the Pheromones", which was given to Biggie. When Biggie met with the Insects some weeks later, they discovered that he had written lyrics to the melodies for every one of the ten songs on the album. Impressed by such dedication, but not wanting to simply re-record old material, they decided to write a new album together. The end result was a musical record of an astounding personal journey that challenged everyone's perception of who they were, our relationship to each other as human beings, and the relationship between Britain and members of it's former African colonies, and includes a version of Biggie's classic track "Out of Africa".
