I was thinking nice candidate for the "Boomerang"... The fact that the music was made in 1958 or earlier and we are having this wire conversation is poignant!<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if the vuvuzela has its roots in this Bapedi traditional horn.Siemon Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164680406742335680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-79243439058136303302013-04-09T02:47:36.658+01:002013-04-09T02:47:36.658+01:00Very true what you said about "Lexilani"...Very true what you said about "Lexilani" and "Madikoti." Strange and arresting songs. These two sare what half the bands in "The Wire" (a magazine that I have great respect for, by the way) are trying to sound like.

When I mentione...Many thanks for all the comments!<br /><br />When I mentioned "almost avant-garde", I had in mind Tony Conrad or John Cale or some other drone material, but Chris, since you mention the vuvuzela, this be a more apt!<br />I still can't get away from the difference between disc one and two.<br /><br />Warlock, I believe I have volume 1 and will post it this coming week. It looks almost identical but the title is slightly different and it is issued on Columbia rather than HMV, hence some doubts over whether it is from the same series. Nevertheless, the matrix numbers all line up nicely, so I am almost confident that it is volume 1.Siemon Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164680406742335680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-5849611548795794222013-04-08T16:04:38.194+01:002013-04-08T16:04:38.194+01:00Great!
