Ikenga Super Stars of Africa (1975)
I know this one has popped up on a number of other evil file-sharing blogs over the years, but it really is too good to miss. If you've never come across them before, the Ikenga Super Stars of Africa play the kind of dizzying, funky highlife that is sure to move both asses and minds. The interweaving guitars on these two long songs never fail to send me into a kaleidoscope hypno-trance, and that could never be a bad thing, could it?
And, just in case you're wondering, the file is hosted on mediafire. I've had a think about my options since all this megaupload kerfuffle started, and I've come to the conclusion that we humble muzak bloggers are but small fish. I'm really sorry to those (Moos at Global Groove, Owl at Holy Warbles, the team at Mutant Sounds amongst many others) who have had their files deleted - I can only imagine how upsetting this is - but I'm sure we're all going to be able to find ways to keep on keeping on.

I wasn't sure what the complete Holywarbles lowdown was - that's just crazy, totally bonkers.
Gets calculator out, does a few sums. Apparently Owl had deprived Universal music of the grand sum of... nearly 2 cents!!
If ever there was fellow who made the world a better place.
Thanks for this stupendous post, and for carrying on. That's the least we can do, now. Cheers.
