On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

  2. Nice, I'll be able to align my love for Indian music with my inclination toward dub. Gong deeper into bill Lasswell... I listened to Trilok gurtu a bit in the past (long gone past). Have a nice day, Nø

    1. Thanks Mk. I never get too much Bill. His versatility is undaunted. To bad he's not doing well health-wise.

    2. I listened to it and really enjoyed...the whole new York diaspora of gifted tabla players (and at least one genius zakir Hussain). Good bass from the bill... He grows on me thanks to you, Nø...

    3. For some more great Laswell & New York culture clash, check out the Crooklyn Dub Consortium (link in "Labels" right hand column). Thanks, Mk.

  3. I love this album. This and "Lo-Def Pressure" were the first two Laswell albums I purchased and I've gone off the deep end since then with my love of all Laswell's projects.

  4. Thanks, Mooz. Deep diving into Laswell's catalogue is always rewarding, imo.. "Shivamythscience" & "Black Ice" are some of the best. Again with Zakir Hussain & also working with Badal Roy.
