Angola soundtrack 2 : hypnosis, distortions & other sonic innovations 1969-1978

"A 44-page book with more depth of research and grainy photos than you could wish for - and 21 tracks from a time when the musical flame was burning bright in the years immediately preceding and following liberation from Portuguese rule. The music coming out of Luanda was new - brave young men making it up on the hoof. There are links with samba, with rumba, with Portuguese balladry, with the local semba, with The Shadows - the tracks are pretty varied - but essentially we worship at the shrine of the electric guitar and the reverb unit ... Fine and unusual music designed to electrify".
