My Friend Rain
SUBLIME FREQUENCIES
'Dreamy musical segments, fleeting glimpses, odd sounds, temple shrines, decay, death, afternoon rains, and mysterious celebrations... from the Irrawaddy delta to humid nights on the streets of Isan province.'
Beat rockers, psych pop, ballads and freak-outs from Indonesia's answer to The Beatles.
Traditional Islamic folk music from China, with Arabic, Persian, and Turkish influences: Kazakh, Uyghur, Kirgiz and Mongol Erut musicians on stringed instruments like topchar, komuz, rushtar, rawab, tchang.
The Flower Girls are the world's greatest all-female garage band. Twenty-six selections of Indonesian beat-a-go-go garage psychedelia from their four LPs.
Fantastic. Raw, blazing street music from Marrakesh. Electrified banjos and mandolins, drums, singing; amps run off moped batteries; the definitive interpretation of the Dana International hit Sabra And Shatilla.
Landmark garage rock from Indonesia, 1967. Raw and original, with the guitar sound of a punky Byrds, peppered with psychedelic chill-outs, and enough attitude to have landed the band in jail.
Representing fifteen years worth of live recordings, rife with frenzied Syrian dabke, Iraqi choubi and the mix of Arabic, Kurdish and Turkish styles unique to northeastern Syria.
Supercharged, freakin' 60s beat, pop, and 'off-beat cha-cha' instrumental classics by the likes of Charlie Electric Guitar Band’s Sound Of Japan.
One side 'dry', unplugged guitar; the other the electric fury of the full band, Omara Mochtar's heavy, psychedelic guitarism in with raw garage, backbeat percussion, swirling together in a kind of trance rock.
A stupendous selection of funk and soul.
'Compiled from Group Doueh’s personal archives, these five tracks (note sidelong piece on the flip), are as brain shifting in their ecstatic brilliance as any music ever heard.'
Drawn from the hundreds of Souleyman cassettes released since 1994, this is Dabke — delirious, invigorating party music, churning every Arabic style into rough and ready electronics and drums.
Jacking synths and electrified bouzouk, from the last decade, the north-east of Syria: 'one of a kind Dabke party tunes, regional Atabat-styled crooners, and unbelievable Iraqi party jams.'
'Intimate and dreamlike... exploring the music of Saharawi culture from Guelmim in Southern Morocco to the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott.'
Electric guitar and tinidit, with keyboards, two female voices and drums — raw, distorted, thrilling, like an unhinged Hendrix automatic-drawing Mauritanian and Sahrawi roots.
'amplified roots rock, blues, and folk in the local Tuareg styles entering into full-on electric guitar psychedelia... two electric guitars, a drum kit and a chorus of vocalists' (SF). 'Buy it!' (Honest Jon's).
