Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light by Afrika Bambaataa
Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light is an album by Afrika Bambaataa, released in 2004. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Metal”, on 3 lists with a best position of #37.
Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light arrived on Tommy Boy in 2004, following the Looking for the Perfect Beat: 1980–1985 collection, and it finds Afrika Bambaataa, one of the originators of breakbeat DJing, still pointed at the future. This was the man whose electro tracks of the 1980s helped shape hip-hop culture, and who carried that culture around the world through the Universal Zulu Nation.
"Metal", the track that made it onto the rock countdowns, lives up to its title with a harder, colder edge than the electro he made his name on.
