About 12 years ago someone gave me a tape which someone else had given them & they knew nothing about. The writing on the front was barely readable & seemed to say "Pangea ..??.. israel creed...??I was really into it but lost the tape & have been trying to work out what it was ever since. Then yesterday I was checking out the UBU website after a link was posted on SS & there was a poem by Ismael Reed called Skydiving (the name of a song on the lp) . All became clear & the LP which I haven't heard in about 8 years is finally on it's way to me!Anyway without Soul Strut I may never have found out what it was. I was quite surprised to find out it was made as late as 85 & that taj mahal & allen toussaint were both involved. Is this a well known lp? What do folks on here think about it? Is their other stuff worth picking up?http://music.com/release/conjure:_music_for_the_texts_of_ishmael_reed/1/
