that entire series is totally aces save for 1 or 2 discs out of 21 that are a bit too dissonant and weird sounding for my bourgeois western ear.
vol. 21, the latest one i think, features solo piano work by an ethiopian princess turned nun. like ethio-jazz meets Satie.
i really wish some of the grooves could be re-done, with more bass and cleaned up sound... would be WIKKID on the dancefloor... sounds great as is for listening, but doesn't stand a chance if mixed with modern cuts for the dance.
oh shit did i just wish for a "Nina Simone RMXED" type abomination from some marketing department???
