    Absolute vibe from the first to the last track. William Onyeabor is a saint sent from heaven to let the sounds of God flow through him. Uplifting, groovy, and speaks to the heart in a way that brings one back to the natural love that is human life.

      fantastic bullshit...referring to the original rough mix with them edges this compi sounds like an inbetween of singing a child into sleep n creamy gay-disco...transfering political | critical messages whenever packed in a easily understandable kind to follow them days of first issueing now this sounds belonglesness cheesy...not to understand me wrong: great artist n great music but only by them originals...better go for them n see

          Fantastic Man sounds noticeably lower quality on mine than the rest of tracks. Does anyone else have the same issue?

            Based on how many times this has shown up in my recommendations in the past decade, it is safe to say I actually know who William Onyeabor is.
