Miles probably made more exciting, interesting and varied music in the 70s alone than either JB or Fela did in their entire careers, but JB like changed music man! No JB = no 70s Miles and possibly no Fela too.
Right now I'm probably more inclined to throw on a Fela record than a James Brown record, but that's just because I kind of played him out in college.

braveclub's idea is brilliant, by the way, but I think Fela can soundtrack a mean cleaning too

I'd rather listen to Fela over James. No question.

have no idea what it means but the "impossible, impossibility, impossibilityism, impossibilityismalogy, impossibilityismalogicalization" part in go slow is one of my favorite things of the history of recorded music

did lol at this:
(like most things these days) ridiculously over-rated by folks who don't really know much about what does or does not suck.

serious take: 1st congotronics album is actually pretty underrated at this point
― the state is bad (Left), Saturday, 1 August 2020 12:36 (three years ago) link
Both good albums. More interesting takeaway: the idea of "affording" an album has become outdated in less than a decade.

Yeh, the Konono live tour in summer of 2006 was unbelievable, won free tickets to see them in Cleveland, and it was just an enormous hours-long party.
