World Psychedelic Classics 3: Love's a Real Thing

VINYL FORMAT. A really mind-bending collection of African grooves -- one that digs deep into the West African scene of the early 70s -- and comes up with a massive batch of tunes that really opens up our understanding of the music! The sound here isn't just 70s Afro Funk -- as the tunes include a range of tripped-out styles that make the best use of electric instrumentation, psychedelic production, and important influences from American soul artists at the time. There's some amazing guitar on some of the best tracks -- ringing out with a sound that's chromatically complex while also being tripped-out and funky -- in a way that complicates the rhythms without totally taking them apart.
