What are some records you've listened to lately that have really caught you off guard, in a good way.Yesterday I went to record some folkways albums, and one that was requested was: The Nuru Taa African Musical Idiom: Played on the Mama-Likembi by Nadi Qamar
I did not expect to like this album at all. Samples can be heard here

Here's another folkways that's been melting my face lately, still need his other album.
I wouldn't say I've slept on Traffic/Winwood/etc my whole life
so much as just been kinda ambivalent. I like what I hear, have Dear Mr. Fantasy, whatever, but never dug in for the long haul.
I heard this LP in a record store last week, and started laughing, thinking of how
many dollar bins I've left it in over the past 20 years, and it
was so very good, I would have always liked it. It's funky, trippy, raw, cool,
soulful and dope.
Next time I see it for a quarter, it's MINE.
This one has some nice tracks too.
