What's Spinning

My collection #113

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Echos Hypnotiques

Second of three Analog Africa compilations of them. In many ways, it should be my favourite - it has their best recorded stuff from their main label, and it is great. But somehow it's about my least favourite of the trio as there's something more charming about their less well recorded stuff. Still, this is undoubtedly some of the funkiest music ever recorded.

DAY 1 – This Party Is Just Getting Started

Jamie xx ‎– In Colour (Young Turks, 2015 First Pressing)


Super uplifting album, certainly more upbeat that the XX albums! The opening track, 'Gosh' sets the tone perfectly (it also has an incredible music video!)

Lee Morgan - Candy (Blue Note, Classics Records Mono Limited Pressing)

Glad I picked this up rather than continuing to wait for the (non-existent) affordable first press to pop up. The level of detail Classic Records went into is pretty impressive, all the way down to a reproduction label and deep groove. The music is amazing, superb quality and certainly up there!
