Finally got around to spinning this and god damn it was worth the wait! What an amazing album AND amazing pressing. Going to read the liner notes after I have listened to it again.
Amadou & Mariam - Dimanche à Bamako
Guy Garvey - Courting The Squall
Love Amadou & Mariam (and have a better album of theirs coming up sans Manu Chao). I once saw them in concert where they performed in the dark and it was trippy experience. And Guy Garvey - I bought this before anything by Elbow as while I like many of their songs, I never liked their albums quite enough to buy one. Weird, I know.
