Allmusic[2]

The Allmusic review awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "the subject matter is more social than political in content. In keeping with tradition, the album Stalemate consists of two extended pieces -- one per side. The title track has a mid-tempo trance groove that bends and yields to Kuti's call and response with Africa '70".[2]

Personnel

gollark: So `fmap (+1) (Just 4)` is `Just 5`, but `fmap (*2) Nothing` is `Nothing`.
gollark: No.
gollark: For `Maybe`s, `fmap` will run a function you give it over its one element if it has one, or just return `Nothing` if there isn't one.
gollark: Now, you can actually replace `>>=` with `fmap` and `join`.
gollark: It's a generalization of it. Hush.
