Trading with the Enemy is the second album by the collaborative band Tuatara, released in 1998.[5][6] Steve Berlin and Scott McCaughey were among the new musicians who contributed to the album.[7]
Critical reception
[edit]Guitar Player noted that "traces of jazz, afro-pop, and the Starsky & Hutch theme seep through the layers of guitars, saxophones, and vibraphones."[8] The Windsor Star praised the "Ventures-influenced surf tune ('Afterburner'), a funky tribute to deceased Nigerian musician/activist Fela Kuti ('Fela the Conqueror') and an idyllic folk tune that is propelled by Buck's mandolin ('Angel and the Ass')."[4]
