Para Todos Meus Amigos Em Torno do Mundo
The records are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of vinyl crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn open cardboard mailers, to join me among piles of LP's and 7" singles that are seeing daylight again after what might be many years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood - it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation - which these records arouse in a genuine Groove Collector. (adapted from Walter Benjamin's essay on collecting)

Hey KG!
Many thanks for the continued great music!
Your site has to be one of the best sites on the music for finding out about new music.
As a result I am the proud owner of the Boillat Therace LP :-)
I am very curious about this Mulatu LP. The others are great, very interested to know if this is as good as those!
Please keep sharing the great music!!
Many thanks and all the best
Nick
Hey Nick,
Thanks for those kind words. The Boillat Therace LP's are amongst my favourites and pretty tough to turn up so well done there. I will put a couple of the Mulatu tracks from this LP, which is pretty good although not as rare as perhaps some of his other stuff.

"Cruisin' J-Town"? Not like the Hiroshima track, is it?
Many thanks KG.
I would really appreciate it.
BTW Have you heard of the INDIGO JAM UNIT? They are a band from Japan?
They just put out a really nice EP that you can hear samples of here:

Please keep up the great website. :-)
Thanks!

Hey Nick,
Yep, know the Indigo jam Unit, their first EP is on this Blog. I have the second one but haven't got round to putting it up as yet.
