Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from October 20, 2022 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

can vouch for the badal roy lp on the short lived adamo which released at three arnie ones. crazy it hasn't been reissued yet -- even weirder that it there's no need for one at the moment. still cheap! one of the most inspired east/west jazz albums.

interesting. i confess as a kid i always reacted to his voice negatively (possibly because i never liked the animation style of school house rock and thus wasn't open-minded while experiencing it) but it's a voice that's grown on me to an extent that is simply incredible. i love him so much now, mostly thanks to this and his readings of Ferlinghetti
