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)

I am pretty amazed that DJs in Europe and Japan are still discovering Natural Essence, the band I founded. Thanks for making me smile today!

damn, the album I had but my dog chewed it up. Worst day of my life. I dont know why music blog owners ignore questions about re-upping links and what not-it seems to me that these people are not asking for much, music-heads helping out other music-heads- It just doesn't happen, maybe its because their all Americans....I dont know, but I do know that you are the only person on this godforsaken internet that has the album I love so so so much. I would greatly appreciate it if you can share this amazing album with a fellow capricorn via email or some other fashion. If not, at least reply to this comment. I like socializing with people I can learn a lot from (music, etc) Thank you

Hi Alex,
Sorry to hear about the LP. If you send another comment (with your email address) I will email the whole lp (links to media fire or mega uploader). I wont publish the link so your email will remain private.

Hi Killer Groove Music Library,
My name is Kareem, and I am the son of Rasheed Ali (credited as Rene Rivera), who played and wrote on this album.
Recently I've been trying to gather copies of all my Dad's music wherever possible-- and as I can't find the vinyl in the garage, it would be extremely special if you could send me the rip you have via email. I know pops would enjoy this relic from his youth.
Thank you in advance, and I love your blog!
