Ghana Special Volume 2 (Electronic Highlife & Afro Sounds In The Diaspora 1980-93)
In the early 1980s, a particular alchemy between new musical technologies and significant social, cultural, and political transformations in Ghana gave rise to a new style of highlife. Drum machines and synthesisers appeared alongside lilting guitar lines and punchy horns, and the emerging Ghanaian diaspora began incorporating US disco and boogie, R&B, European new wave, and Caribbean zouk and soca into their music. This style soundtracked the birth of a new, proud Ghanaian identity and captured…

If I Had a Pair of Wings: Jamaican Doo Wop, Vol. 3
A third and final volume of Jamaican doo wop & R&B records taken from the late 50s and early 60s. These records represent a period in which sound-systems were beginning to dominate the island, with Duke Reid and Sir Coxsone Dodd stepping up their rivalry by beginning to make and release their own records rather than rely on US imports for use in their dances. Many of these records are definitely more-or-less imitations of the American records, as the uniquely Jamaican ska sound was yet to take h…
Spiritual Jazz 15: A Tribute to 'Trane
Gatefold sleeve. Includes download code. Many artists achieve greatness but very few produce work that is so moving it's considered sacred.
