They're making archaeologists out of vinyl now, are they?

I loooove the crackling, popping, hissing sound of true vinyl. This is great, thanks!

Frank says that on some of the recordings 'they used the "Microgroove" process on 45s that allows a 7" pressing of tracks that are longer than 4 minutes but results in lower volume and more noise'. Hence the warm hissing. Enjoy!

Damn. I was expecting this to be one of those stories about recovering ancient voices/music by playing a piece of pottery like a record. This is cool too!

Looks good, gottabefunky. Soundway Records also have some damn fine stuff. I just ordered their TP Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo release - check out the samples!

If you're into this, you might also enjoy the Afrofunk Music Forum, Awesome Tapes From Africa, Matsuli Music and, probably, some other blogs I'm forgetting right now.
