Gemini Soul Dark Skin Babies : The Movement Gemini Soul's music isn't your typical jazz; it's Cyber Jazz! Gemini Soul's fifth release "Dark Skin Babies : The Movement" is a two CD set, which contains 20 tracks of non-stoppable experimental jazz funk-fusion at its best. This is Gemini Soul's most political and social conscience collection to date. "Dark Skin Babies : The Movement is the follow-up to the 2008 release "The Nefertiti Xperience." "Dark Skin Babies : The Movement" features three cover tunes "Al-Falaq 113" written by MeShell Ndegeocello; "Chameleon" written by Herbie Hancock and "All The Critics Love You In New York" written by Prince. Disc 1 has more of an experimental Latin jazz fusion flavor with songs like "Reparation," "Dark Skin Babies : New Vibe," and "Finger Print;" whereas Disc 2 has more of a 70's jazz funk vibe with songs like "Right On," "Barack & Michelle," and "The Movement Pts. 1 & 2." Don't be surprised if you have one fist in the air by the end of the album.
