"Rare and special, left-field tracks with extra poke, swoony music known only to obsessionals. Sound good, eh? The anthology quickly establishes its credentials with a tinny highlife that turns out to have a grip and riff of great potency. Then a marrabenta from Mozambique, then a fuzz guitar anthem from Ethiopia ... And so it goes on ... Every song has something memorable to enjoy. These are the sort of flaky tracks that go too far. Unknown classics for connoisseurs. Not MoR".
