One Track Mind is an album that showcases the dark side of Egyptian Lover. Freak-A-Holic, One Track Mind, The Dark Side Of Egypt, Los Angeles, and Living On The Nile are the standout tracks. He was a true musical visionary in electro hop (electro hip hop). 1986 was a good solid year for Egyptian Lover somehow.
However One Track Mind did receive as much praise or accolades as its predecessor On The Nile did nor was it as essential. Yet the songs Freak-A-Holic, One Track Mind, Living On The Nile , and The Dark Side Of Egypt were all major hits that helped further expand The Egyptian Lover's audience and helped built his reputation.
The album is epic with an electro hop sound. Electronic meets hip hop music on this album. Of course West Coast rap and 80s rap had that electronic sound in its early stages during its beginning state. This album is a lost classic of 80s rap in general.
I rate this album, One Track Mind, 4/5****.
