Got this over @ the Ile Oxumare blog, and was really diggin' it so it's only right to spread the word. ALL of these tracks stay on my mp3 player. Loop diggers & groove lovers alike don't sleep on this awesome compilation! Here's an excerpt of the description from Ile Oxumare:
"This compilation, "Freaking On Sunshine" is made up of music from the age of the free-thinking musician, the cusp of the 1970s. I list "psyche folk and hippie jazz" on the cover, but it's so much more: there's tastes of r&b and soul and latin. You got zithers playing with conga drums, off-center vocal harmonies with funky drummer beats, elaborate horn arrangements and wicked fender rhodes grooves. Most of its American, but there's some European folks on here too. Sadly, the common ground is that most of these musicians are not household names."
Sounds delicious just reading it out aloud.
