Originally released in 1994 on BILL LASWELL’s AXIOM imprint, “The Trance Of Seven Colors” is the meeting of two true musical masters: MALEEM MAHMOUD GHANIA (1951 – 2015), son of the master of Gnawa music MALEEM BOUBKER GHANIA and the famous clairvoyant and "moqaddema" A'ISHA QABRAL, and a master of the traditional Gnawa style in his own right. MAHMOUD learned this craft as a youth along with his brothers, walking from village to village, performing ceremonies with his father BOUBKER and was one of the few masters (Maleem) who continued to practice the Gnawa tradition strictly for healing (the central ritual of the Gnawa is the trance music ceremony – with the purpose of healing or purification of the participants). With 30 cassette releases of music from the Gnawa repertoire with his own ensemble and performances at every major festival in Morocco, including performing for the King in various contexts, MAHMOUD GHANIA was also one of Morocco's most prominent professional musicians. In 1994, BILL LASWELL and PHAROAH SANDERS went to Mocrocco, equipped with just some mobile recording devices, to record GHANIA and a large ensemble of musicians (to a good part family members) in a very intimate set up at a private house with the legendary free jazz musician contributing his distinctive tenor saxophone sounds that gained him highest praise as a truely spiritual soul right from the days of playing with JOHN COLTRANE and his wife ALICE and on seminal solo albums like „Karma“. The aptly titled „The Trance of Seven Colors“ ranks among the best Gnawa recordings ever released , made it onto the list of “10 incredible percussive albums from around the world” by Thevinylfactory.com

An alternative listing for the Cajun Dance Party: Fais Do-Do CD Compilation on Columbia – Legacy 1994 http://www.discogs.com/release/6362502-Various-Cajun-Dance-Party-Fais-Do-Do

"A lot of the songs contained here may have remained unreleased but for the advent of KILLING CAPITALISM WITH KINDNESS. Some of them would not even exist. Most of the songs were recorded at homes or warehouses in what are meant to be 'sub-standard' conditions on 'sub-standard' equipment. None of this was recorded on more than 8 Tracks, and most of it was recorded on less. Most of it was done in Dunedin, all of it in New Zealand. To me that's recommendation enough." – PETER JEFFERIES, 1991

German minimalist pop trio from 1980 to 1985, they gained worldwide reputation for their song 'Da Da Da' which was a hit in more than 30 countries. The group was Stephan Remmler (vocals), Gert 'Kralle' Krawinkel (guitar) and Peter Behrens (drums). They released three albums and one live album (on cassette only, later rereleased on CD).

"Due to unfortunate circumstances we found ourselves in short supply of words to express a surplus of sentiments; sentiments rooted in awkward social interaction, nostalgia, contemplation about the ruthlessness of time passing, and how a mundane, humdrum existence still holds many surprises.

Surprises like a glockenspiel laying around in Split Note Recording Studio, and a bearded man short of breath. Recording has never been so laid-back. These three were among the poems that grasped our saudade."

Hukwe Zawose & The Bagamoyo Players. "Born in Doduma, in central Tanzania, Zawose studied music with his father, learning a variety of traditional instruments, including the iseze, a stringed instrument, and the marimba, or its diminutive relative, the chirimba (the Tanzanian metal-tongued instrument plucked with the thumbs). He was also a vocalist of exceptional sensitivity, with a voice that swept from a natural speaking range to a throaty falsetto.

Under the socialist-inspired government of President Julius Nyerere, Tanzanian culture flourished, although there was little money available for recording. Zawose first made his name in Tanzania with the Bagamoyo College of Arts, a pan-Tanzanian cultural troupe, and the Tanzanian National Dance Troupe. In 1984, he came to London as part of the Commonwealth Institute's Africa, Africa programme.

One member of the audience, Iain Scott, of the Triple Earth label, was so moved by the Bagamoyo College of Arts's music that he organised a recording session. The result, in 1985, was the immaculate Tanzania Yetu (Our Tanzania), Triple Earth's inaugural album, and the first step in Zawose's colonisation of the non-African mind. Such was the album's impact that the composer and former Grateful Dead keyboardist Tom Constanten used it with his students in their composition lessons, so keen was he to share its possibilities for cross- and polyrhythms." (from the 2004 Obituary of Hukwe Zawose in The Guardian by Ken Hunt)

Originally released July 1980 Recorded at WMRS, Leamington Spa, between June '79 & May '80. (Mining Village recorded at home, July '77; Epic's Trip & Big Empty Field (no. 2) recorded in London, March '80)
