Nice.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 3 February 2023 20:19 (one year ago) link
if you like those mostly artsy and art rocky types (some of which I do) . Interesting how Horace Andy, thanks to new records, is top reggae act in that Brainwashed poll
― curmudgeon, Friday, 3 February 2023 20:22 (one year ago) link
really like that list from the stuff I've enjoyedWill deffo deep dive
― nxd, Friday, 3 February 2023 20:23 (one year ago) link
Yeah likewise. The Brainwashed list has a lot of overlap with my own faves, with several previously unheard RIYL titles. This Ak'Chamel album, for instance, is a treat.
