I have a much treasured cassette of one of his albums but I'm presuming he's done tons of stuff. Any recommendations? (wanders off towards Google and Soulseek...)

I think the comments after that article are pretty interesting as well... I don't have much to say about them, though. :eek:

I was tempted to leave a post pondering whether it was too early to start talking about a Big Beat revival. :rolleyes:

I only have the 2 or 3 albums dedicated to him on the Ethiopiques series... Ere Mela Mela being the famous one. but I'm sure he is, was very, very prolific.

there is a new series called Zanzibara from the same label as Ethiopiques... which looks excellent.

big beat? what are you on about there Pete? isn't big beat just coffee shop breaks? (read: fat boy slim)

Sorry. I was being silly with the Big Beat comment. I read the comments thing on the Ethiopian Idol page and it seemed a world away from Dissensus.

Yeah, that cassette I have definitely has that Ere Mela tune. I love the weird basslines in his music.

ok enough of this international-man-of-mystery shit, Mr. Sufi.

Breakistan is NOT a real place. I just asked an Arabic friend of mine.

you better tell me where you are or else I will never leave a comment on your blog. ever.

sufi your private message box is full or something. too much flirting with the other board members.

here is the reply I tried to send:

for some reason I was under the impression that you were based somewhere in the mid east and was a camel thief / wedding singer.

since 6, wow. I don't know anyone from when I was 6... hardly know anyone from art college... ha

but actually I do keep in touch with one of my best friends from High School, who now lives in Singapore with his Javanese wife, works in a Mosque during the day, and releases mid-eastern tinged drone work under the name Suleyman...

do you practice Sufism? what is your opinion of Muslim Gauze?

I ordered this thing recently:

Amazon product ASIN B000056PJ6
and several other arabic / n. african pop box sets... none of it has arrived yet though...

thanks for the links. I'm still going through the first one... Mazikana. everything on there seems of about the same quality, I like it all but there's too much, and not too much variation... anyhow I'm mainly looking for things I can put on the 1's and 2's, and there is a lot that I can mix with on there.
