Reviews
- 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.
- Edited 2 years agoAfter a long time i grab this one. Great music, but why doesn't someone invent printed poly inner sleeves? :)
