Mataya Clifford - Star Fell from Heaven (1976)



This is a weird, mixed up mess of loads of different sounds and styles, all of which must have filtered through the ears of Mataya Clifford during his 1970s in Ladbroke Grove. The music here is sometimes kind of funk-rock, sometimes soulful and awash with mad strings, there's some reggae influences in there, and then the whole lot has this SOUND that is very pub-rock, or maybe influenced by the Notting Hill community bands of the period. I don't know. Maybe its none of these things and just some shonky old record I found in a flea market.

You decide:


Tracklist:

01. Star Fell From Heaven

I agree this is so weird but it's excellent!! I like because the cover album is perfect and colorful it seems like a rainbow, actually I feel so identified with because I'm a gay.
