Off Track III finds the New York/Boston-based pair shining light on another diverse array of underexposed vinyl. The eclectic African disco and soul cuts Amir highlights on his disc are Americanized by style but inherently authentic in feel, demonstrating the very best of the regionís dance music from the period following Fela Kutis mid-70s creative peak. Some standouts: Tee Macs 1980s insistently catchy Living Everyday; Effi Dukes percussive masterpiece The Time Is Come; and Christy Essiens glorious You Cant Change, which features famed bandleader Geraldo Pinos Show Train outfit. Also in the mix are a couple of cuts from unsung Nigerian star Dizzy K. Falola aimed at sophisticated dancefloors.
