Catsley's Cornucopia // Lubey Lu Such a special album. There's nothing I would change about it and every time I listen I end up rewinding tracks for my own pleasure. Favorite track: Deer Spirit Song.

Floored Capri Absolute triumph this LP. For me the best AHC release - so ahead of its time it's never been far from my turntable since the early nineties. Favorite track: Free Chant (Churchical Chant Of The Iyabinghi).

about

Considered by most fans to be AHC's masterpiece. One of the prominent elements throughout African Head Charge’s discography has been the ethnomusicology influence. On Songs Of Praise this is even more pronounced, featuring religious chants set to an African dub backdrop of hand percussion, with a mighty sonic and great musicianship. A significant record both for African Head Charge and On-U Sound, originally released in 1990.

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
