A bit late for this one but glad to find it!
Superb line-up, great choices, more please!
Thanks - superfly56 set from you this week as well!
Start a mix with Gil Scott-Heron is always a good idea ! Love it :)
Thanks Cap'n!
Really superb selections on this one, and a couple of tracks really grabbed me - I'll have to come back and explore so I can figure out which they were! Thanks for this and all the best -
Thanks Reade, appreciate your ears.
a perfect mildly caffeinated dreamticket here M.Lord..! just the ticket to mitigate that monday feeling.
excellent curation as usual - african head charge and the astatke / heliocentrics track favourites...
nice one, Pππ
Cheers Papa! I love that astatke/heliocentrics track as well - the drumming and the way that the drums are produced, and the snaky serpentine theme...
Might be my favourite track in this set.
you're welcome & thanks for putting it up...
was shared me a copy of "Γthiopiques 4: Ethio Jazz & Musique Instrumentale 1969-1974" years ago and it's remained an all time (any time) favourite album.
this dreamticket a handy prompt to seek out some other astatke pronto...
Think a friend burnt me a CD of that at the time as well - is that the one with Yekermo Sew on it?
Need to have a rummage through the shelves...
had to check, but yep that's the one M'Lord - a lovely collection.
Greetings LBH! Lovely selection. Thoroughly enjoyed listening.
Ahoy-hoy COS! Thanks for listening.
Must be time for a new set from you soon?
Have done a few sessions for various 'radio' shows which I've reposted but yes, indeed another CoS missive may be due. Thanks for the prompt. I'll get the Committee onto it!
Checked out your "Horizontal Hour" guest slot in the Marlow FM show yesterday - liked that a lot!
Sorry, missed this - must have given the slowbots a day off! Thanks again for investigating and embarking on the voyage. Much appreciated. Think there is more to come as I feel a sort of arrival or comfort in the set - length, genre, orbit etc., These feelings have been confirmed, underlined and reinforced by various listenings including to yourself and your linkages to Papa Mango's Nibley series 1and Horsefly56. Sometimes the algorithms actually work in your favour! βπ½
Oh, almost forgot have you listened to the Malcolm Catto show from Strut: https://www.mixcloud.com/worldwidefm/strut-records-quinton-scott-with-malcolm-catto-19-09-22/
He talks about recording with the Heliocentrics and Mulatu Astatke - illuminating
Thanks for the heads up on the Catto show. Will def check that out, interested in anything that he's involved in.
Looking forward to more COS shows in the vein of the Marlow FM set, think you're on to something there, it all felt quite organic.
More than happy to be grouped in your head with Papamango, Horsefly56 and yourself - the closest I've come to finding a Mixcloud tribe or niche. You three are always worth a listen.
Just caught up with your Licorice FM guest slot for Jimmy Jazz - *all gold*
Yo LBH! You do me great honour by listening - very much appreciated, and I'm massively delighted for your enjoyment. I've never been much of a joiner but happy with the mixcloud clan that's evolving - kindred musical spirits. Open minded and experimental - no ego just tunes. Nice! βπ½ Since listening to #7 have had the magnificent Daxaar on repeat - thanks for reminding me how good it is ππ½
Halfway through that Malcolm Catto interview show now. Really interesting - especially the revelations about the Lloyd Miller sessions.
Thought you'd enjoy it. Have not yet finished listening either - must carve out some time to return and see what other nuggets, insights and tunes reveal themselves βπ½
Blissfull grooves. Many thanks.
Cheers willy, appreciate it.
