As part of the St Gregory’s student band scene in Lagos during the late ‘70s alongside Ofege, Grotto and more, Apples were picked up and produced by legendary EMI Nigeria producer Odion Iruoje who added overdubs to the album at Abbey Road in London with Curved Air keyboardist Francis Monkman. Heavy afro funk with 70's rock and disco vibes from their varied influences

Back in.. This is a great comp, now through USA so price rise unfortunately....... Somaili Music comp with a great story...In 1988, on the eve of a two decade civil war, Somalia's authoritarian ruler Siad Barre launched punishing air strikes on the north of the country, known today as Somaliland.. a few brave radio operators and dedicated vanguards of Somali culture preserved thousands of cassette tapes and master reels by dispersing them to neighbouring countries and buriing deep underground to withstand the most powerful airstrikes. These were excavated and recalled only very recently, Ostinato Records have painstakingly put together this comp, inc a worldwide search to track down the musicians, songwriters, composers, former government officials, and quirky personalities that coloured Somali music life... revealed in a 15,000-word liner note booklet Clips for 1st 5 tracks only of 16 track LP.

In association with DJ Amir’s 180 Proof BBE presents another gem from the Strata catalogue. A precursor to New York’s Strata East, Detroit’s Strata Records was founded in the late 1960s by former Blue Note artist Kenny Cox.This is a deep jazz fusion classic from1975, powerfully atmospheric inc afro- cuban styles" summoning up images of a vast industrial landscape, assembly lines and urban decay. In other words, this record sounds like Detroit" Classic artwork too - a picture of the contents of Lyman Woodard’s pockets placed on the hotel bed after a show. Previously reissued by Wax Poetics demand is still crazy as more people discover this

Repress of this 2015 issue ...Interesting and enjoyable sounds, a soundtrack for a 1929 silent film based on a book written in 1919 , the story of Dr. Matthew Lloyd, an alcoholic doctor who is disgusted by the exploitation by white people of the natives on a Polynesian island. Continues Mike Cooper’s on-going fascination with all things Pacific. Fusing ambient, exotica and field recordings, the sound is of sunset-like dreams spanning the shores in pulsing waves of richly coloured rhythms, tropical sound fields and Polynesian-inspired slide guitar
