Try and save this for when I have something good to pass along
Eddie Palmieri - Sentido
Brilliant 70s progressive Latin jazz album from probably the greatest NY Salsa act not on Fania.
Horse Meat Disco IV
Compilation of the kind of hard hitting disco records that would get played at Planets and The Embassy circa 1983. A little Funkadelic here some Gwen Guthrie there and from Italy the genius Misa Luba which sounds like an Electro Manu Dibango tribute record with the Glitter Band on vocals. One for fans of the Prophet 5, 808 handclap, conga and clave sounds and Larry Levan et al.
And from a closely related world of walking octave bass lines and big mutant disco hooks but mixed with John Martyn style folk tunes and the NY avant garde of Yoko, John Somebody and Laurie Anderson .....
The World Of Arthur Russell - various
And further out again and a little earlier in the 80s (but a little later to vinyl).....
Scott Johnson - John Somebody
It's Gonna Rain meets Liquid Sky
