Shawn Lee's Ping-Pong Orchestra - World of Funk

A decent attempt at combining worldbeat and trip hop; there's admittedly very little keeping this from being a flat-out bad album, but the features and performances are often pretty good, and even if the songwriting does get stale after a while, there are enough good tracks towards the beginning to keep it at least decent. This album doesn't really shine anywhere, which is sad because with a bit of improved songwriting, it could have been good as well. As it is, just a generic funk/trip hop album with some worldbeat influence.
5/10

On my favorite to not albums list:
Gong - Shamal
Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra - World of Funk
The Flamin' Groovies - Teenage Head
