Does anyone have 'Bipartite' by Aina for upload?
Tracking this down has proved to be something of a pain.

Cheers, Fraser

That Aina album is on emusic, but I'm out of downloads for this month.

There's a free trial offer for 50 downloads if you want. Let me know and I'll e-mail you the details.

While I'm here...

Dolly Parton's first solo album from 1967. Thanks to Brett Eugene Ralph for suggesting that it was worth tracking down. It's great.

(it's my first attempt at ripping an album so sorry if the quality is crappy)

That is indeed a great album. Dolly is the real deal, even if she did turn into a self-caricature later.

Sounds good, night tools. The only suggestion I'd make is to rip at 192 kbps instead of 128. Makes a difference on good equipment.

A desperate plea:

Does anyone have a copy of the long-OOP Wizzz: Psychorama Francaise (1968 - 1971)? I have Stéphane Varègues' "Le Pape Du Pop" stuck in my head and I just need to jam out to it.

I just heard the sad news of the passing of Mikey Dread.
Salut, sir! You were monumental.

Mikey Dread- Dread at the Controls (1979)



http://www.sendspace.com/file/s29cfx

Although it's the dub version of this album that was to reach legendary status, the original vocal version of Dread at the Controls is equally crucial. On this, his debut album, Jamaica's one and only roots Rasta DJ toasted over some of the most superb rhythms to be had, laid down by a kaleidoscope of power pairings -- Robbie Shakespeare, Ranchie McLean, and Earl "Bagga" Walker throbbing, high-stepping, and slinking around on bass, with Sly Dunbar, Carlton "Santa" Davis, and Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace snapping out the militant beats. Joining them is a trio of star axemen including Earl "Chinna" Smith, a quintet of pianomen/keyboardists including Augustus Pablo, Ansel Collins, and Gladdy Anderson, a pair of expert percussionists, and a lethal brass section. An errant explosion could have snuffed out the island's entire music industry in a nanosecond, assuming everyone was present in the studio. While Dread was at the controls, behind him were such studio wizards as Ernest Hookim, Errol Thompson, Errol Brown, and Prince Jammy, with the latter overseeing the remixing alongside the legendary King Tubby. Needless to say, this was one of the most phenomenal-sounding albums of its day, and would have sold in vast quantities even without Dread opening his mouth. The musicians reinvent classic rhythms, spinning them out like spider webs, trapping listeners in the long rhythmic strands, hypnotizing their prey with the pounding beats and heavy, heavy basslines, then wrapping them up in the heady atmospheres. And sitting in the middle of the web is Mikey Dread himself, magnetic, entrancing, utterly mesmerizing as he toasts leisurely along to the music. The album is titled after the DJ's radio show, which also provided the name for Dread's own record label and the title of his debut single. Rather confusingly, that single is not included here, but there are inspired versions of others including "Proper Education," "Love the Dread," "Step By Step," and the classic "Barber Saloon." Every track is a revelation, and one could lose oneself in this album for hours, even days, so mesmerizing is the sound, so sumptuous the atmospheres, so resonant the DJ. Controls was built for sound system play, and the creative sparks of the dub set ignite across its grooves. It just doesn't get better than this.

Scion arrange and process basic channel tracks Tresor 2002.

Scion (Pete Kuschnereit aka Substance and Rene Löwe aka Vainqueur, cornerstones of the Basic Channel Parthenon) import selected highlights of Berlin minimalism into Ableton Live and deliver a thundering, rolling mix of cavernous, metallic electronica. It's a good deal more active than the source material (I would go as far as to use the epithet 'banging' at points) and to some extent the characteristic sense of space has been sacrificed for a more upbeat mix but still a worthy listen and cycling in to work to it this morning I briefly became a Heath Robinson engine of well-oiled flywheels and pistons.

I've downloaded a lot of files from this thread and discovered a lot of good stuff as a result, now its finally my turn to contribute

After posting in the mountain singers thread, some interest was expressed in some recordings of the lined out hymns of the Scottish Free Presbyterians from the Isle of Lewis and the Isle of Harris.

Unlike other collections I have access to, these are sung in English. (most are in Gaelic)

Its really an otherwordly kind of singing and very beautiful, but it is an acquired taste for some.

Tracks 1-2 were recorded in 2005 at Inverness Free Presbyterian Church in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis

Track 3 was recorded in the 1960s on the Isle of Harris

Tracks 4-13 were recorded in Ness, Isle of Lewis in the early 1980s.

I also have a lot of Sacred Harp recordings from sings in my area if anyone would like some.

Here it is:
