I just bought the second of his two box sets, completing his discography. Such a unique character. He doesn't get enough credit.

Anyway, I realize most people don't know who he is but he is worth a listen if you're into unique music made by mystery geniuses.

Any other fans?

Never heard of him but I will check him out on Qobuz. I like looking for less popular music where you can find some amazing fresh (not as in recent) pieces.

See this:

worth a listen, yes. But he's not Fela Kuti.
In many ways - see the article - he was more interesting as a man in doing things other than just his music!
