A form of Sufi music with its roots in the ancient Arab world, surviving only in Zanzibar: slowly building in intensity, with songs and poetry, and passages for dancing, featuring a wide range of percussion.

A fabulous selection of Swahili popular music from the East African coast — Lamu, Mombasa, Tanga, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and the Comoros — taking in Tanzanian dance-band music, Congolese-style rumba and the hypnotic, Islamic sounds of Taarab, from the 1960s to date.

Moebius and Roedelius post-Kluster (with the departure of Conrad Schnitzler): deeply impressive, a massive but minimalist ‘cosmische’ landmark.

Blissed-out, refined electronica, with synths, piano, and guitar, from 1976.
The numbered, 50th Anniversary edition of the LP.

‘The Complete Tribe And Jet Stream Singles 1966-1979.’ Including the original version of You Left The Water Running.

Rocking the party and ramming the dancefloor is the first priority of this review of Latin styles in classic West African dance music, as it emerged with 1950s anti-colonialism, and ran on gloriously into the 70s.

The legendary digital destroyer in all its original glory, including the dub; and another murderous King Culture unveiled — soulful and limber. A double-headed ronto from Toronto. Killer.
