Psyco On Da Bus is one groovy affair. The main man behind Psyco is Tony Allen, the one who was responsible for making Fela Anikupuli Kuti the man that people respect today. Tony Allen has more funk and groove than the average person and should be considered to do an album with Bill Laswell. While most of the material on Psyco On Da Bus is mostly instrumental or broken lyrical pieces placed all over the funky place, the whole premise is that one just grooves along with Da Bus. They are referred to as Afrobeat but really Psyco is so much more than a basic Afrobeat style. It is mind altering beats that make this album a must have. Other artists that Tony Allen has included on Psyco are Doctor L, Jean Phi Dary, Jeff Kellner and Cesar Anot and they are all in fine form. Allen pushes the crew to many crazy climaxes but is also able to keep a cool low key vibe going. Psyco On Da Bus will definitely get your head bobbing and your ass grooving. You also get a cool Quicktime video for a remix of “Push Your Mind� with some crazy animations.
