Afrique Victime reinvents contemporary Saharan and 'rock music' by melding guitar pyrotechnics, full-blast noise, and field recordings with poetic meditations on love, religion, women's rights inequality, and exploitation in Western Africa.
16 years after their original underground classic, Matt Sweeney and Will Oldham reunite for an album that plays like the continuation of a decades-long conversation.
A fairly definitive compilation featuring Chrissy Zebby Tembo and the awesome fuzz rock funk of the Ngozi Family band. LP + bonus 12" of 4 rare 7" singles.
Departing somewhat from the commercial sound of his previous release, the massively successful Purple Rain (1984), the album instead saw Prince experimenting with psychedelic styles and more opulent textures.
Prince's sophomore breakthrough. The album pulses with an electric energy, especially on the dance singles “I Wanna Be Your Lover” and “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?”
