V/A - Ethiopian Modern Instrumental Hits LP Grindcore Two bass riffs and 10

Two bass riffs and 10 minute jams each became two songs: “Event” and “Is it easier”

one is not just taken to the green pastures of magical euphoria but given the opportunity to feel the blades of grass underfoot and taste the orchestrated air

but there's no avoiding the overt sparkling melodicism of songs like 'Marble Walls' and 'The Turning Ground'

For the dreamed-of maxi single at 45 revolutions per minute

and in 1801 was transported to Australia

V/A - Ethiopian Modern Instrumental Hits LP Grindcore Two bass riffs and 10Back in stock! This selection of jazz instrumentals from late '60s and early '70s Ethiopia represents a side to African music seldom heard in 'World Music' reissue circles. This music represents a hybridised approach to jazz, incorporating African, Latin and Arabic scales alongside the more psychedelic, beat group informed music of the west. This no doubt has something to do with the presence of musicians like Mulatu Astatke, who trained in America.
