Review

E Dide (Get Up) is an experiment for King Sunny Ade. With shorter song times, it's a blatant attempt to get him on the radio. Does it work? Yes and no. The good news is that the material is as strong as Juju Music and Odu. The bad news is that editing his work into five-and-a-half-minute songs does him no favors. Along with his band, the prolific Nigerian needs room to stretch out and let each piece ebb and flow, powered by a phalanx of 11 percussionists. The trademark pedal steel guitar is in evidence throughout the album, winding in and out of Ade's vocal lines, and the call-and-response vocals take the entire sound back home. But just as a song begins to get interesting, it's over, and so on E Dide there's no chance to experience the true power of this band in full flight. --Chris Nickson
