They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7; Part 8
Active compensatory factors: Tunde Baiyewu's vocals in The Lighthouse Family are superb and he and Paul Tucker make a very successful duo. Unfortunately, when he's without Tucker he struggles a bit to be distinctive.

The songs on his debut album, Tunde, are pleasant and quietly effective but lack that x factor to make them truly memorable. I bought the album on the back of his albums with Tucker, but haven't bothered to look for more of his work away from The Lighthouse Family.
Where do they all belong? The Lighthouse Family are the place to go. My reviews are here.
