His music really blows my mind. I'm definitely dedicating a whole trip this weekend to his music. Anyone else a fan?

Here's a nice song; try listening to the whole piece. His musical style is called Afrobeat which a fusion of American Jazz, psychedelic rock, and Funk with West African Highlife. Most of his songs are in the 10-5 minute range and have some excellent sounds and rythyms, which is perfect for tripping.

Yea, I know what you mean. They can be a little annoying; unfortunately this is the only full song of his I could find on youtube.

Jumped in a river, what did I see?
Black eyed angels swimming with me
Moon full of stars and astral cars, all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and all my futures
We went to heaven in a little rowboat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
