Pre-Order Thread

This one looks promising, a compilation of live tracks from Sahel bands, pressed to vinyl by Sahel Sounds.
In 2020, Sahel Sounds hosted a project called Music from Saharan WhatsApp. This series consisted of ephemeral digital EPs, documenting live performances by some of the most exciting acts in the Sahel playing music, including Nigerién techno, wedding rock, Woodabe guitar, WZN, traditional music, Mandingue music, and more.

Responding to an open call from our network of artists, musicians recorded a handful of tracks on their cellphone and sent them over the popular mobile app WhatsApp. Each session was hosted for a month on Bandcamp and sold on a sliding scale, with all profits wired directly to the musicians. After a month, the EP would disappear, replaced by another one.

Now, some of the label's favorite tracks from this series are collected for the first time outside of Bandcamp as the Music from Saharan WhatsApp compilation LP. This LP features tracks by established Sahel Sounds artists such as Etran de L'Aïr, Hama, Alkibar Jr, Amaria Hamadaler (of Les Filles de Illighadad), and artists new to the label like Bounaly and Andal Sukabe.

 
I am sure I could do an awesome social media post of me in my new Dino Jr. sneaks with my feet crossed out in front of me on an ottoman while spinning my “Feel The Pain” 45 on a suitcase turntable in the background, probably with some potted fern in soft focus in the slightly further back, with a caption along the lines of:


“I don’t #FeelThePain now that I off my feet and have some time to listen to some vinyls #Chillaxin #DinosaurJr #90sKid”

 
I want these kicks.
"Feel the pain" seems a fitting choice for a skate shoe

Awesome album. I wonder if this will be available elsewhere.
 
The 10th anniversary pressing of Turning On was readily available elsewhere. Maybe the flexi’s are exclusive but I am willing to bet the 10th anniversary edition of Attack On Memory will be widely available…in January 2023!
I've waited 10 years to buy this album on vinyl. I can wait until January 😎
