The Vegas brothers veer ever so slowly to the funk/soul side of the street on this album. Which isn't a bad thing - in fact, it diversifies their sound, and makes Message From A Drum another stellar entry in their catalog. "The Witch Queen of New Orelans" became the hit song, with its' proto-disco string arrangments which really amplify the voodoo angle that it was going for, but "Niji Trance", "Emotions", and "Fate" are entries that more than hold their own. "When You Got Trouble" has serious WAR vibes as well.
