Boyracer covering the Primitives. Making a gd Psychocandy-esque racket on Crash (Noisey Mix)

This is, as the kids say, a total vibe. French language Ugandan act, half traditional, half futuristic.

Didn't know that Mr. Reed's MMM got the classical treatment. Incredible.

Am I wrong for wanting Young Steve's take on this?

The Czarface (that's Inspectah Deck plus 7L & Esoteric) stuff fills a very specific niche, kinda MF DOOM-y (they did two albums together) superhero related albums. REALLY consistent run if you like that kind of thing, which in the instance I do.

    Allez Al Hard agree, especially the first couple LP’s. Lots of killer guest verses, and Inspectah Deck in great form.

      "Songs & Dances From Free & Enslaved Epirus: early 1960's"

      the liner notes:
      "Philippos Rountas was born ca. 1916 in Doniana, one of 164 villages in the Pogoni region of the Ioannina prefecture of Epirus in northwestern Greece. During the 1930s he played in Takis Kapsalis’s band. The celebrated virtuoso Petro-Loukas Halkias (b. 1934), son of the great clarinetist Pericles Halkias (b. 1913; d. 2005), has credited Rountas as his primary teacher. Rountas performed in Athens in 1960 including performances and recordings accompanying the singer Domna Samiou. In September 1962, he came to perform in New York City. This LP was apparently released in a very small edition by a tiny label at 511 W. 181st St. in New York around that time. Research by Christopher King published in his book Lament from Epirus (Norton, 2018) tells us that Rountas died of cancer ca. 1978."
