I hear plenty of new sounds thanks, I was just laughing at people looking for old sounds. I do it as well.

Thumped is always as concerned about the appearance of things as much as the quality.

Just read about this a while ago on NYC's Other Music website. rather than harp on myself, heres what they said....

A seriously insane archival discovery, hailed as one of the greatest and most psychedelic Afro-funk records of all time, Francis the Great's deliciously obscure 12" is the product of French and Cameroonian musicians meeting for a session in Paris, 1977. Arranged by the vocalist's mother, the LP features both "Francis" and another mysterious character singing, who it turns out was actually a seven-year-old boy! This has all the makings of a Kuti, Lijadu or Onyeabor production, with tons of great funky African rhythms interlocking with fluid guitar playing, percussion, programmed synth, and heady bass. These two long tracks feature two distinctly different rhythmic motifs, with "Look Up into the Sky" chugging to a phased-out Afrobeat pace, and "Ravissante Baby" laying into a groove of mellowed synth and spoken poetry. Un-freaking-believably fresh sounding, and despite obvious influence, this is unlike pretty much anything else from this era. Vinyl is limited and perfect to play out for the warm months approaching.

Have a listen. Fuppin excellent stuff.
