Genre: Psychedelic / Funk / World / Jazz / Arabic / All over the fucking place
Released: 2009
Recently released on StonesThrow, this bizarre compilation attempts to piece together a "global movement" of psychedelia and funk-inspired madness from the late 60's onwards to the early 80's. It's a round-the world journey which shows how far psychedelia travelled in a short amount of time. The destinations range from the far and wide, with Nigeria, Iran, Turkey, Russia and South Korea all helping to join up the musical dots. The sounds vary from acid-tinged traditional world music, to the truly ridiculous and experimental (tracks like "The Feed Back" and "The Big Search" are the main highlights for me). The chicken-and-the-egg question though is What hit their shores first: The music or the LSD?
The files are 320/VBR mp3, but I still can't vouch much for the audio quality because you have to consider these are songs taken from old, dusty and most likely quite hard to find records. They may sound fuzzy and crackled, but just be thankful you're able to hear them at all!
