A real journey this week as we kick off with a couple of Lee “Scratch” Perry tunes, followed by some Yabby You grooves. Classic reggae all the way. The vibe amps up with Brian Eno & David Byrne’s “Regiment” – off one of the first albums to heavily feature samples as lead vocals. Is there anything Eno didn’t pioneer? The assault continues with African Head Charge leading the way. Part two sees us taking the vibe down several notches as we enter the heady atmosphere and soft flutes of Shpongle’s “Flute Fruit”. An Oud Improvisation running through some heavy reverb floats us across the musical ether as we slowly build up a groove and bounce our way to the finish, ending the set with an onsite recording of an Islamic call to prayer.
