    Everyone who are trying to compare versions and saying one is superior to another are just missing the point. If the supposition that music is language is true, if a single example becomes the only accepted version then that song or genre becomes as dead as Latin. Fela is alive because people are still finding his truths in their own ways.

      Came here to say this also. That millimeter is the drums, IMHO. Newen has a jazz-sounding kit and the drummer bangs on the fillings way more often and louder, which I personally like better. Nothing wrong with this one, tho. Delivered great where I thought they would be the thinnest, the vocal(s).
