Primitive’s
focus is
uncertain

From page 20
stylistic vortex swirling midway
between psychedelic disintegra-
tion and girl-group gush. Asa
result, the focus is uncertain. But
the band has enough on the plate
to make something stick inside.

Already hot on the British indie
scene since the twilight years of
the ’80s, The Primitives are fronted
by Tracy Tracy, a person the
public relations people delight in
describing asperky blonde turn-
ed beautiful brunette.’’ Cosmetic
contrivance aside, the setting of
young Tracy’s fey vocal presence
within the context of the energy of
musicians playing fast and loose
makes for some trendy moments.

Primitives open for the Sugar

Salif Keita — Ko-Yan, Island Re-
cords, 1989

Keita polishes the Afro-jazz fu-
sion defining Soro, the 1988
release that earned the Malian
nobleman an international follow-
ing.

Keita and clan put the muscle on
rhythm the way alpha-plus jaz-
zoids metabolize melody. The ef-
fect, when it all comes together, is
an intricate fusion of idea and ex-
ecution. Keita trades in a keening,
crystalline Islamic wail. The
singer’s sharp, staccato outbursts
are answered by female counter-
parts and assimilated into a synap-
tic whole equal parts guitar, per-
cussion, brass and programmed
keyboard.
