Turzi - B (2009)

Here's the second album from the enigmatic Frenchman Turzi. Mountains of synths amongst electronic pulses and suspenseful 70's Euro-thriller movie rock. His first album, A, is highly recommended as well, with more of a lean towards the electronic spectrum of music.

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Euro '60 Mix" (2010)

This mix started out with a Italian girl pop theme then I got bored and broadened it to European girl pop then the ADD kicked in and I settled on a blend of weird shit and pop gems all from the swingin European 60's. Add one part pop idol, one part flower power, one part ye-ye and one part soundtrack and mix well. Serve immediately.

Franco & Le TPOK Jazz ''Francophonic - A Retrospective, Vol.1 (1953-1980)''

Almost ten years ago I found some old tape from Africa at a garage sale. I went to my at-the-time place of employment as a cook and popped it in the cassette player. From the first notes of at least three playful echoed guitars, I fell in love. This was before I became a internet junkie so I really had no idea who this band was. I thought I stumbled upon something that only a few knew about but instead it turned out to be Franco. "The Sorcerer of the Guitar." The posthumous Commander of the Order of the Leopard of former Zaire. A national treasure of the Congo, releasing as many as 150 albums in four decades. He was more than just a great guitarist. In many ways, he embodied the revolutionary transitional age from which he emerged: the years when the Belgian Congo became Zaire; when the government's preferred language went from French to Lingala; when the eminent political leader Patrice Lumumba suffered a grisly assassination and Mobutu Sese Seko ascended to power, introducing pro-West policies, platitudes on African authenticity, and torture chambers reserved for political prisoners.


Apprecier!
