Let's have an Exuma thread - C/D, S/D etc.

this album is fucking awesome.
not many great "freak folk" albums out there. this one is the best imo.

surprised there's not much of an ilx love for this

no idea if this is the same band but this is my favourite song of all time & the vocals make me laugh so fucking hard every time i listen to it

it's his song , but i only know the "classic" record:

sounds like AC stole half of the ideas from here to Sung Tongs.
the other half is what makes Exuma a better record imo

test

damn that sounds awesome. my friend and i found Snake while high out of our minds at like 3 am in a radio stations music library and listened to it like twelve times over and over again laughing hysterically, good times

the foldout is pretty wild, too

love his voice too and the Captain Beefheart voice tone

First song off the first album is a jam! The whole first album is getting
more rewarding with each listen. Vocals are sort of Beefheart/Richie Havens
Some parts do have sort of an island mystic/voodoo trance vibe.
Not yet sure the whole album will stick with me, am enjoying letting it sink in for now.

Never saw this thread! Speaking of Siano, I wrote about his comp Nicky Siano's Legendary the Gallery: New York's Original Disco 1973-1977(a Soul Jazz import) incl. my first Exuma experience (though I'd to see him in collectors' mail order catalogues from the 80s on):

Spinning out of this disc, the Gallery is mercury still rising, through
crosstown funk, soul, roots rock, and one gospel song, personalized:
Gloria Spencer proclaims,
"I got it! I don't understand it! I got it!" A jet blasts (like, "Amen!") out
of Exuma's "Obeah Man."

Also, I'd totally forgotten the aformentioned Siano's Gallery thread, despite my posts on there, and now I recall this, by Andy Beta (who also wrote all-time about hanging w Fahey and a JF-made mixtape that only surfaced a few years ago, way after Andy's Voice piece):

the only sign of mixing (a/k/a Siano's 3rd turntable) is at the end of Exuma, where he has a jet sound whoosh come in.
