Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from February 22, 2018 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.

I only do emails once a week unless I expect something, so I understand.

the Blakey is CRAZY, don't know this either (checked Discogs for personnel, but it is not correct, or at least I don't think so, no sax listed)

Orgy in Rhythm 1&2 are some of the best percussion recordings ever laid down, ever. Super highly recommended to any and all

Sabu is among the personnel, I know. I'll link a lineup: www.discogs.com...

@Zonk: mine too. it's actually fairly new to me, I've been trying to catch up on my Gil Evans and when this turned up I was utterly transfixed, and became ecstatic. like a religious moment. he's such a master, but this might be his masterpiece

I saw Sam Fan Thomas in the early-ish '80s in New York. One of the first live African shows I can remember attending.

Flash Strap, your opening set performed open heart surgery on my ears. In a good way.
