Amp Fiddler: Afro Strut (Genuine) ★★★★☆
Andy Gill, The Independent, 1 September 2006
MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST Joseph "Amp" Fiddler served one of the best apprenticeships available in black music with a stint in Funkadelic, going on to apply George Clinton's formula of future-funk with a firm grasp of its roots to his own solo debut, 2004's Waltz of a Ghetto Fly. That album's retro-funk stylings are further extended on this superior follow-up, where Amp comes on like the gifted love-child of Sly Stone and Chaka Khan on tracks such as 'Funky Monday' and 'You Could Be Mine'.
