I must say I would like to listen to this. Those seeking unadulterated instrumental mbira music could do worse than check out Zimbabwe Shona Mbira Music on the Nonesuch Explorer series. It's not Congolese, but it is quite captivating. (Thomas Mapfumo's chimurenga takes traditional Shona mbira...

Stelfox, you are the Don. Thank you!

On the South-East Asian 'out' pop tip: Hò! Roady Music from Vietnam, audio here.

PM me your address and I'll get it off to you.

Nick, it's generous, knowledgeable people like you that are the reason why you've got people out in Vancouver or Vienna wanting to get their hands on any bit of grime action they can possibly find in the first place. If you've fucked up in any way, it's not taking a commission for increased...

The point is, he wasn't, AFAIK.

Ace, that one. I rocked it just last week actually!

True, that.

Sounds great. Any chance of putting that online? Oh, and upcoming Bong-Ra / Enduser / Shitmat European jaunt - dates still available for the UK if anyone needs sound for their garden party.

Strange indeed when the paragraph above it reads thus: Welcome to CyberReggae.com, the latest addition to the online music fraternity. We are here to provide you with access to reggae music exclusively (A reggae only music download service). Our catalogue is made up of all genres of reggae i.e...

90% shit, 10% gold... sort of like the Ram's Horn catalogue, then?

CNN.com: London mayor in Nazi insult storm

Wee Papa Girl Rappers have some cool stuff indeed, I'm thinking of 'Blow the house down' or even better, both Kevin Saunderson mixes of 'We know it' (on the b-side of the 'Soulmate' 12").

I'll have to check it out then, won't I?

Shit, I hadn't read that. OK, early Tied+Tickled Trio, then. Sounded at times like Pharoah Sanders over electronic stylings.

I completely agree with your theory! Very well put indeed. For o.t.t. warbling at the end of *every single phrase* as a surrogate for true soulfulness, see Madonna, too. Not a soul diva by any means (some good stuff and some very good songwriters on the early albums, tho'!) but she cannot sing a...

Whitney Houston. A case study in wasted talent.

Boards, Dizzee, OK, but I can honestly say I've never heard a Royksöpp remix I've liked, a recent example being the mix of Roots Manuva's Colossal Insight. Simply atrocious, the musical equivalent of a fabric softener. Ugh.

Or Spring Heel Jack playing with Matthew Shipp, Evan Parker, Han Bennink, William Parker, and, uh, Spiritualized's Jason Pierce.

An interesting juxtaposition, for sure, but I hope Dizzee fares better than Ty (pre-Upwards), who's previously toured with Tony Allen. A piss-poor performance, IMHO, his mild-mannered sing-song style totally unsuited to the full-on polyrhythmic assault going all around him. I, for one, spent...
