Originally released in 2008, Manifesto was a defining moment in their journey, pushing their Afrobeat sound to new heights. Blending majestic brass, overheated organs, hypnotic basslines, and polyrhythmic percussion with a touch of spiritual jazz and tropical funk, the album channels the traditions of ancient folk storytelling and a deep-rooted sense of humanity. "We wrote the songs on Manifesto almost 20 years ago, yet the themes covered on the album seem more relevant than ever: abuses of power, disinformation, war profiteering, plutocracy, and class struggle still fill the news cycle today. But what stands out most upon listening again is a feeling of hope and resistance. There's a sense of defiance in every horn stab, organ riff, and percussion hit," said Pierre Chrétien of The Souljazz Orchestra. "There's a new war going on, people got to keep on keepin' on," as heard in the lyrics of People, People. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, Manifesto truly stands the test of time. It continues to reveal new elements, with tracks that still feel fresh today and are beloved as timeless classics. This long-overdue reissue finally brings it back, with 500 limited copies pressed on translucent orange vinyl for fans and collectors alike. Get ready to experience the power of this album like never before.

So, I asked him why don't we remix it and make it like an Orb classic?
