	Bob Tarte's "Technobeat" Archives
		E Dide, which the company is calling King Sunny Ade's "first studio recording for the U.S. market in more than ten years." The bad news about the new album, recorded in Seattle, is its smattering of English-language vocals, hearts-of-space synthesizer patches, and songs that clock in at an average of four minutes.
		The good news is that the English is confined to a couple of cuts, the tinkly synth is sparsely used to update a familiar, nearly formulaic style, and while I miss the extended grooves of earlier releases that play to juju's greatest strengths, the shorter songs have a bracing economy.
		First there was JPP with its flatbed truckload of violinists, then came The Helsinki Mandoliners on their eponymous KICD-label disc--featuring JPP member Arto Jarvela on mandolin, Ottopasuuna's Petri Hakal on mandolin, and on mandolin Olli Varis of Koinurit and Aldargaz fame.
