Rated 5/5
Review by esteban_morientes Mar 05, 2009
"Taliban Discotheque" is a rerub of the impossible to find "El Fen", which is the B-side of "Yemma", a 12" from 1976, both sung by the deceased Kabyle folk singer Aït Meslayene who was forced by his manager to make a disco record. This is a complete unknown but outstanding 6/5 track, with an incredibly strong bassline, great percussion and a chorus you're not likely to forget after you heard it once. With a dodgy early eighties cosmic compilation being the only exception, this track never got edited, bootlegged or compiled before, a rare exception seen the recent edit madness and the simple fact this is such a strong track. I suppose every single disco track must be re-edited by now, as you can't dig any deeper than this. As El Fen is probably the hardest record in his genre to track down, this 12" is a huge relief for deep digging disco and cosmic heads. Essential stuff!
