Okay, one track from that El Mubarak album. “Tahrimni Minnak” is just so joyful-sounding:

...putting that Nimco Jamaac song on first was a brilliant move--as soon as I hear that synth I can't turn it off

Having never heard the Sweet Broken Dates compilation before I put it on last night and yeah holy shit at that synth! Listened to about half way through the comp and it seems all-killer-no-filler as dog latin claims it to be upthread.

There should be more talk about this amazing compilation. I've been listening to it every morning and I never get tired of it. What's Sweet Broken Dreams?

That Mogadisco comp upthread is decent too. Dur Dur Band would have been as big as the Beatles if the world were a fair place
