    The recordings gathered here were collected in their local contexts, which allows the authenticity of the musical materials to be retained. Even though, some of the tracks, originally in mono, were later electronically processed for stereo, a practice that today can be subject to debate.

    Two different samples from the track B2 of this record (the solo singing of the Lebanese Brian Eno - David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (1981).

    Also, some samples from this Islam vocal music release, including, again, the voice of New Order - Brotherhood (1986).

    Coincidentally, Brotherhood albums.

            A record of great integrity from the great age of the hi-fi. “Ethnic” music in 1976 was not conscious of its self as it is now; this record therefore is a jewel from an age of innocence. The ambience is intimate and although the fidelity of sound is unremarkable the places and people in the recordings are tangible.
