Granted I'm always late to the game onthe music search and if it was not for sites like And A Half, Transafixion and others, I'd be posting way to much we've all heard. (this does not mean the occasional Nugent post will be forgotten! (stoners be calmed)
so now....
This compilation introduces a new direction for Now-Again Records and its owner, Stones Throw Records GM, A&R and producer EGON. With the same detailed, no-stone-unturned approach he used for Deep Funk (The Funky 16 Corners, Cold Heat), he tackles beat-heavy global psychedelia with Forge Your Own Chains. Forge Your Own Chains showcases music from all corners of the world: Colombia, Nigeria, Sweden, South Korea, Thailand and Iran. The focus—in keeping with Now-Again’s tradition—is on melody, driving rhythms and accessibility. Not one song is included on this compilation because it is from a “rare” album. Certainly, many of these songs do spring from albums that exchange hands for many thousands of dollars and many of these songs have never seen reissue. But these songs are all beautiful in their own right and work to form a coherent album.
Listen to all samples and buy CD, LP, MP3 here. or...go below to 3 cuts of youtube listening.
Buy and support these nutty freaks. I'm sure they can use it. (if they still own "rights")
Digipak CD package includes 40-page full color booklet with detailed liner notes, annotation, photos and ephemera. Gatefold 2/LP includes all liner notes.
Physical purchase comes with the bonus 7-inch single Forge Your Own Chains 45, by Guilty Simpson, Oh No, J.Rocc and Egon, while supplies last.
Much Much thanks to the uber blog And A Half. (Quite a classy joint)
