The theme of the album was to be a psychedelic journey into the various psyches of the mind. The trip started with a journey into the past The House Of Yesterday then covered the inner workings of the mind ID then the descent into madness Hydro Pyro hallucination Purple Floating and finally culminating in nirvana Snow Petals. Unfortunately, Barkan was unable to find a record company willing to lease the masters and so they languished for decades unreleased.

The Strut imprint, not content to let Taylor 's name languish in obscurity, put its money where its mouth was, and paired him with the Afrobeat Academy of Berlin, which includes guitarist J. Whitefield of the Whitefield Brothers and various guests from Europe and Africa. Love and Death , the result of that collaboration, reveals how much vitality the year-old musician possesses still. These eight cuts are balanced between re-recordings of earlier tunes and new ones. Taylor 's guitar and weathered vocals in both English and his native Akan dialect are right up front.

They're juxtaposed with constant skittering percussion, hypnotic electric pianos and organs, punchy horns, and meandering yet in-the-pocket basslines. Taylor 's lyrics derive from many sources: nursery rhymes, political and social themes, romance, etc. The title track is an uptempo but brokenhearted, love song which proclaims that "love and death are all the same.

As funky as the JB's , it is more melodic and deeper into an African soul groove. This is a club stepper with its popping bassline, swirling wah-wah guitars, and stuttering horns that play call-and-response with Taylor 's vocals.

There are two instrumentals included: "Kwame," dedicated to Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first president, and "Victory," about a conflict between two neighboring villages. Taylor 's snaky guitar skills are amply evident on both, and the backing of the Afrobeat Academy and its guests push them into the stratosphere. Anyone remotely interested in Afro-beat -- traditional or modern -- needs to hear Love and Death ; it's a sonically pristine and deeply earthy musical experience from an artist who is only beginning to receive his due and has plenty left to say.
