A trance-like state inflicted by fear is well encapsulated in this track. Balafon takes off from ghostly wind sounds. The sensation of running is propelled by the monotonous rhythm. Invitation for drive-by shots. Ends with ghost wind. 80 bpm (Amin)

AFRO033402
2:42
A haunting low frequency siren begins this cerebral piece. The plot slowly thickens as a Marimba builds over synth pads and a hypnotic Koto is plucked until that haunting buzz bookends the piece again. A manipulative plan is hatched. 80 bpm (Cmin)
-
AFRO033403
2:45
A slow tension builder. Begins with ominous drone that gradually builds with underlying percussion. There's an uneasy leaning towards dark thoughts. Halfway a Marimba enters suggesting movement. 110 bpm (Cmin)

AFRO033404
2:29
Immediate gloom undulates. Atop the deep resonance there's a glimmer of hope as soft Marimba, an African harp and some airy synths suggests the unfolding of a dark mystery. There's an ambiguity here; the perfect balance for a mysterious mood. 76 bpm (Gmin)
-
AFRO033405
2:31
Begins bleak and dark; synths sounding like truck horns in the distance. Hypnotic Balafon and Marimba in a cyclical trance. At 1.31 a sound like running footsteps pulls focus, alternating with the cyclical balafon and marimba. There is a kinetic energy evoked in this piece. A roadside drama or a chase of some sort. 90 bpm (Cmin)
-
AFRO033406
2:30
Spine-chilling from the start. A sense of something slowly closing in. Ominous synths swelling in and out. There's a dropout at 1.01 shifty-eyes, hot breath! Militaristic log-drums get busier thereafter as well as African-bow harmonics creating a sense of mystery. This piece is crime or battle ready!; 110 bpm; (Gmin)
-
AFRO033407
2:32
This slow composition is sad and mysterious. The opening synth tones drone and wail longingly. There's a slow stop at 0.42. A pretty Kalimba picks up again juxtaposing with the eerie and solemn synth. Nothing is as it seems. 95 bpm (F#min)
-
AFRO033408
2:29
A stark, cowboy-like scenario would be fitting; perhaps a wildlife predator stalking its prey. Faraway drones creep in while a haunting flute cuts the air. African Harp and Bow retain the African aesthetic. A metered Balafon knocks at a slow pace. Adventurous with a strong sense of anticipation. 87 bpm (C#min)
-
AFRO033409
2:27
Curious hollow drones set a freaky mood. A cool African drumbeat skips through subliminal doom synth pads. A mystical Ram Horn conjures the spirits with an enticing tune. A spooky wind through the trees and an African Bow rings further elemental changes. 80 bpm (F#min)
-
AFRO033410
2:27
Airy, menacing chords beneath tapping sounds create a foreboding soundscape. There's a repetitive metallic rhythm that builds in the last quarter along with thickening synth pads. Finally the chilling ambience fades out into a void. Great for a slow transition. 98 bpm (Cmin)
-
AFRO033411
2:35
An otherworldly beginning. African drums merge with the great unknown. Modern yet tribal. Polyrhythmic percussion takes centre-stage at midway mark. A Kalimba heralds a sense of longing. Gradual ending with sci-fi sounds. Plenty ethereal suspense!; 90 bpm; (Gmin)
-
AFRO033412
2:27
A 3-dimensional feel. An elastic bass frequency illustrates a shifting perspective. Minimalist Marimba in lower register. Higher Marimba notes sound almost like water droplets. Perhaps a cave or inside a large unfathomable building. The mind can be deceptive sometimes!; 90 bpm; (Emin)
