Did you know that Praful of One Day Deep fame is also a member of Adani &Wolf and that they are the same guys behind Project 2000? Adani & Wolf actually produced Praful's One Day Deep album. On their latest album Les Seigners, they enlisted the help of guitarist Ernest Ranglin (he onceplayed with Bob Marley), singer Billie Godfrey and of course Praful. The overall feel of the album is sensual with a funky and jazzy feel. In addition to a cover of Gino Vannelli's People Gotta Move, a couple of tracks have the feel of those old French and Italian movie soundtracks of yesteryear.
