No Comprendo (Jaxon's non-Anglo Psych, Prog, Folk, Funk mix)

i take that back.

i have the Nino Ferrer on vinyl, and luckily found this one on Limewire, but no others. the Henri Texier a friend ripped me from his vinyl and the West African Cosmos is from a comp. but the rest still stands.

Thanks, there's a lot of great stuff here.

the rest of the Pugh album is amazing. the first track is on Cherrystone's Rocks comp and was sampled by DJ Shadow. you can hear it on the http://aquariusrecords.org/ site

ill start pulling these when im back to my desk....

i've been meaning to look into joyce for ages now and consitantly forget.

nice work!

speaking of which this mix is awesome.

I totally forgot about this band! thanks for this

Question: is there any other Aisha Kandisha's Jarring Effects stuff (or any stuff on their Barbity label) that's any good? I've had their first album for like seven years, but I've never bought their second one (Bill Laswell, ick) and I'm curious if they've done anything else worthwhile.

"i'm gonna have to go ahead and say they haven't done anything else worthwhile."

Wrong! I just picked up Ahlam's Revolt Against Reason (which actually gets a passing mention in the Unterberger book). It's fantastic like El Buya Part II. There is one nearly 10 minute song which is stunningly beautiful with little cuts and stop starts. Weird samples all over the place too. Asian Dub Foundation wishes they were this good.

wait, what does Ahlam have to do with Aisha?

i'm listening to a clip. sounds kinda interesting. i've been wanting to get into rai for a long time now.

i don't think they're the same group. think both put out records on the same label (http://www.maroc.net/barraka/) and were both later ruined by Laswell.

btw, i think that mp3 i linked to above is actually the whole album on one file?

They both released stuff on Barbarity records (Swiss label.) The record is engineered by Fido K (who is in AKJE) and they may share members as well.

Seriously this record is almost as good as El Buya. If all rai sounded like this I would be a huge fan (unfortunately noodle-y 80s keyboard refrains kind of ruin a lot of it.)

That said I don't think this is "technically" rai anyway, but some crazy rai-gnawa-beat-dub fusion thing which probably no one in Morocco even likes but is tailor made for genre interlopers haha.

BUT what is totally and completely rai is another record on Barbarity called Oujda-Casablanca Introspections Vol. 1. Raw sounding stuff more in the vein of Hada Raykoum than most of the other lates 80s-early 90s stuff I've heard.

uuuuh, jaxon:

when you gonna volume 2??

My boss just compiled this compilation of psych/prog/funk from around da world:

http://www.normanrecords.com/records/96452

Is there a tracklist for this that I am missing?

Or is this one of the fancy mystery comps Sub Freq-stylee haha!

Speaking of which the three non-comp albums they released last year are the best thing that label has done. Yay for attribution!

i couldn't find a tracklist on the web, but here:

atomic forest - obsession 77
quarteto nova era - de repente
arif sag - osman pelivan
sonora casino - astronautas a mercurio
arnaud rodriguez - murituri
ovni 87 - sueno un camino
suely e os kantikus - esperanto
jean paul el troglodita - everything is gonna change
flavio kurt - walderez walderea
erkin koray - hor gorme garibi
novos baianos - globo morto
los chikichaka -musica mulata
ersen gonese don cicegim
barra de chocolate - ladron de un prisonero
atomic forest - obsession 77 ver. 2

can't believe i missed this first time 'round. any chance of a re-up?

i don't have any of these mp3s on my computer (hopefully they're all on a harddrive somewhere), but the i do upload tons of weirdo world tracks to my site http://www.robotsinheat.com/. i'd say maybe 20-30% are non-anglo. lotsa german, french, african, italian, japanese, etc.

I'll try to compile a bunch of the best and upload them in the near future.

jaxon, i am a bit embarrassed to say this, but i had NO IDEA you had a website.

now you know. and knowing is half the battle.

GEE I JOOOOOE.

I didn't know you had a website either.

Still got this awesome mix if you're interested, r1o.

ooooh pretty website jaxon

I'd need more comps like this or the "Obsession" one...
