Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from May 30, 2024 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.

this was on the mysterious 2nd generation (at least) tape someone gave me ~1980, entitled "space skank". she said some dude she knew gave it to her but she knew nothing about it.
bit by bit, over almost 4 decades, i figured out what most of it is

Erik/VT:

late 90’s started finding CD reissues of early Pablo Moses classics (revolutionary dream & a song) & Keith Hudson & Horace Andy. Latter-ly I’m partial to that Bim Sherman “miracle” 1996 album (via On-U-Sounds) pleasant listening & not so heavy, rather light & delicate.

well Lee Perry's production contains many idiosyncracies and innovations - here you can hear most of them in play all at once!
less clean than Tubby, lots of kitchen-sink effects and DIY weirdness, a general tendency to distort and reshape sound in an organic way, there's a lot to him... one of the most important producers ever

“distort and reshape sound”

how does one describe that spongy, slinky sound that is so unique to scratch (like on police and thieves, heart of the congos etc)

Clicky starred the episode. Thanks again! Just a work in progress. I can spot obvious King Tubby stuff, and cumbia rebajada after listening here.
