[Orang Utan]

genius piece of music

 

[killer b]

did you see them last year orang?

it was great, until they played some new songs...

 

[Orang Utan]

no
i can imagine that they past their best!

 

[killer b]

it wasn't quite the overwhelming experience i was hoping for (as well as the lame prog 'new' songs, their backdrop was a poorly edited vhs loop of argento film clips), but they were still bloody good at the important points... profondo rosso was the high point.

Seke Molenga & Kalo Kawongolo With Lee Scratch Perry - From The Heart Of The Congo

afro dub holy grail business. here.

i really like this record, though ive heard it slated by some 'commentators' it is raw, but thats good

if i remember the story right, the two guys who sing were on holiday in JA, and nowhere near professional musicians (im not sure if they were musicians at all back home!) - naturally that didnt put lee off and so the record got done. its a pretty unique piece of africa meets jamaica 70s music - i know of nothing like it. if anyone does please tell me!

also i think it got shelved for a uk release, possibly by whatshisname from Island records - got a cd release recently though! lewisham library has got it in!

Exits by The Boxer Rebellion. My favourite is "We have this place surrounded"

 

[killer b]

it's a fine album - although my favourite track is the mis-labelled robert palmer tune that they tagged onto the end.

did palmer do any other reggae - 'cause it's a fucking good tune.

 

[killer b]

anyway, now it's brainticket - cottonwoodhill, seeing as it's a prog night.
