    is the quality clock-radio-like to avoid lawsuits?
    good mix regardless.

    Forreal. This is really amazing what you're doing. A) Write a book B) Make a comp. I will buy multiple copies of both.

    Off to a ridiculous start. That screaming in the El Rego track is unbelievable. Fantastic work as always. Many thanks.

    Essential. A book with all your photos travelling, of all the dealers, record covers, your stories... and a 12 CD mix set, and 4 double vinyl comps.... DO IT!

    Dude, I don't even care how much that would cost, I'm there. Next person who asks me what digging is I'd be like here - and hand them the book.

    maybe other than that ck mann track
    (which was issued on a pretty popular compilation)
    and 1 of the poly rythmo tracks, this all new to me.

    Thanks for the thumbs up everybody.

    Just within the past few weeks, I was contacted by two reputable record labels about doing a comp. I'm very thrilled about this and will do everything I can to make this happen.

    The focus would be the musicians though and not my digging adventures.

    A fellow strutter has some plans for an African digging video though. Not sure if this will materialize or not but it could be fun...

    Hey Frank, really looking forward to listening to the new mix. Great to hear that you've got some label interest too - long overdue! Hope all's well and safe where you are and good luck with the next trip to Cotonou.

    Thanx Ol___er,
    sorry for the strongly compressed sound quality by the way.
    I always have to depend on friendly favors when it comes to hosting these mp3s and some of my friends have limited bandwith...
  • PATXPATX 2,820 Posts
    Listening now. Sounds great, dig that African Boogaloo. Let us know if you get a higher bitrate online.

    Sorry guys... just realized that my buddy has uploaded the wrong (earlier) version of this mix with a slightly different track list (no CK Mann but instead a hearty slice of Ivory Coast Disco Cheese by Bailly Spinto).

    I'll try and have this replaced by the newer version and in a better quality if possible.

    Sorry about that...
  • PATXPATX 2,820 Posts
    haha, I kept rewinding the mix and looking at the tracklist trying to hear your "re-edit"! I thought, where did that boom boom bap go? All round

    HA! I don't care. I fucking love this sound quality and all and the last song on there is just fantastic.

    Alright, thanx to Rainer from Konzeptlos.org, the lates mix is now downloadable in much, much better quality and in the newer version that includes the CK Mann edit.

    For those of you who have the time and interest to read some stuff, I have worked over the folowing posts on various African digging adventures:

    Lots of additional text and some more pictures as well.

    Last year I wrote an article for some magazine that never came out, now I've just added most of it onto my blog posts. Especially the Sierra Leone post should make for a much more interesting read mow.

    Thanx!

    Good God.

    I just spent the last 1/2 hour reading those stories...

    and am speechless.
