PSYCO ON DA BUS
FEAT. DOCTOR L, TONY ALLEN, JEAN PHI DARY, JEFF KELLNER & CESAR ANOT
Available Now as Double Vinyl LP.
Comet Records is so thrilled to present Psyco on Da Bus 20th Anniversary, for the occasion it will be
reissued as a Double Vinyl LP and newly remastered.
Recorded in just few weeks in the US during Tony Allen's Black Voices album tour in Spring 2000, on
Doctor L’s G3 in different places as hotels rooms, local studios (Nyc, Toronto) and the tour bus.
Doctor L and the members of Tony Allen & Afrobeat 2000 band get the idea of making a collective album
alltogether, co-writing both songs and music and creating a new spectrum that reflects their different musical
backgrounds. Doctor L, Tony Allen, Jean-Phi Dary, Cesar Anot, Jeff Kellner are the “psyco bus”
members.
Completed later in Paris with guests artists like Smadj, Dom Farkas and Eric Guathier, Psyco On Da Bus
project fill the gap between the 70's and the new millenium, blending afrobeat rhythms, gospel & soul vocals,
jazz & funk licks with wicked electronics and astonishing production.
From the futuristic funk of “Afropusherman” to the eastern sounds of “Many Questions” or the killer floor
filler “Push your mind Breakbeat” , from the underrated spiritual suite “Time To Take A Rest”, hybrid fusion
of free jazz, poetry, rare groove and nu-beats, to the outstanding “Never Satisfied”.
Last but not least the artwork was created and produced by the talented french graphist designer,
filmmaker Edouard Salier. Tony told about his collaboration with Doctor L on this project in 2001: “Younger
people are coming into Afrobeat right now. And I personally don't want to be past, I want to be future. Young
people like hip-hop, and techno, which is what I must think about. It's the direction I want to take. It's an
experiment I've wanted to try. That's why I wanted Doctor L to produce the album.”
