Idris Ackamoor & the Pyramids — Afro Futuristic Dreams (Strut)
Tumblr media
Afro Futuristic Dreams by Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids
Afro Futurism runs like a mercury current through jazz, funk and soul, taking on shifting silvery contours as it reimagines race, enslavement, religion, magic and science. From Hendrix’s wigged out “Third Stone from the Sun,” to Parliament’s Mothership to the skronk and revelation of Sun Ra, it infuses black music with mystery and proposes alternate ways of envisioning the most painful arcs of world history. Idris Ackamoor taps into this rich tradition in this latest album with the Pyramids, weaving groove, celebration and ritual together in a colorful synthesis.
Sonically, Afro Futuristic Dreams has much in common with recent Sun Ra Arkestra discs, especially Swirling from 2020, with its lush, big band aesthetics and psychedelic soul spoken and sung lyrics. It merges earthy beats with gleaming technological visions, the opening, title cut blasting off like a rocket from the clanging, swaying West African guitar riffs and textured layers of hand drums. But if that opening sounds, just a touch, like Mdou Moctar holding court, the long, trippy “Thank You God,” is all liquid whorls of jazz sax sound, creaky bass slides and dream-sequence harp arpeggios. A celestial aura hangs over it, and yet it swings, especially when the singing comes in with rippling choruses of “Thank you god.”
The disc leans back into Afro-beat with the funk-swaggering “Police Dem,” with its walloping horn line and rough-edged call and response. If “Thank You God” idealizes, “Police Dem,” cuts to the real, with fired up verses about young men shot in the back, yet it does so with heat and syncopation and hip-swiveling beats. So, too, does “Truth to Power,” splice a message of resistance to undulating, North African rhythms. Ackamoor’s sax solo is especially enflamed in this track.
There’s a good deal of spoken word on this album, the sort of poetry that’s meant to inspire but seems a little overblown. It’s part of the genre, obviously, and it gets swallowed, soon enough, by groove. But you have to stick with it through the flute-scented rites of “First Peoples,” the downtempo intro to “Re-Memory” to get to the music. I could do without it, personally. The music, though, is pretty great, in the way it grabs onto all kinds of black influences—jazz, soul, R&B, rock, afro-beat, ethiojazz— and mixes them up in a frenetic blender. It imagines alternate future full of bright colors and sounds, aiming towards justice but with space for joy.

The Experience Machine
The world had changed in ways that nobody could have predicted. The city of Nairobi, once known for its vibrant culture and rich wildlife, had become a dystopian metropolis plagued by poverty, corruption, crime, and pollution.
