Better sound than the first volume, and presented in the fine style of this label, with a 44-page booklet full of great photos, low-down and interviews.

The first album, straight no chaser, from 1973 — superlative Beninese Afrobeat.

A staggering third helping of raw Benin funk. Check YouTube for a totally knockout film of the band performing the second track, Houzou Houzou Wa.

Sixties southern soul, originally out on John Richbourg’s Sound Stage Seven.
Knockouts, start-to-finish.

‘Infinite sheets of grainy sound build and renew themselves to immensely pleasing effect’ (The Wire).

‘Rhythme Congolais From Africa To The Antilles, 1963-77.’

Utterly beautiful contemporary recordings.

Ceremonial music from villages in south-west Turkey, featuring a range of saz lutes, violin, and sipsi (a small oboe).

A liturgy and feast headquartered in the mountains of Antalya, with semah sacred dancing and sung poetry accompanied on the saz lute. Six instrumentalists, two vocal lineups here: from 2004 and 2011.

Two heart-breaking songs and a clutch of rug-cutters from the Taurus mountains in southern Turkey. With accompaniment by Hayri Dev on the uçtelli, or lute. Terrific.

Torsten Profrock’s occult homage to UK garage.
Two-step waylaid in the scuffed, churning, sub-heavy terrain running from his Chain Reaction days to Monolake, mysteriously entangled with the distressed tracks of old Ugandan 78s.

The Chain Reaction classic.
