Various - Tommy Boy Big Blunts Volume 1

More Jamaican shit for my boy Abe, also known as Lionel Messi's personal waterboy. I keed I keed. Anyway, choice cuts from Sugar Minott, Barrington Levy, Wayne Smith, U-Roy and The Mighty Diamonds among others, all of them celebrating-what else?- the glorious herb. Pass that shit up son.

Various Artists - Afro-Rock Volume One

One of many great compilations of great fucking african funkified electric music with touches of psychedelia, soul, and cuban spice, featuring great cuts from Jingo, Super Mambo 69, Yahoos and Bokoor Band among others, and including Geraldo Pino's immortal "Heavy Heavy Heavy". Get fucked in afrodelic zones of debauchery.

V/A - Jonny Greenwood is the Controller

As tastemaker status there are few as popular as Radiohead, especially Thom Yorke or guitarist Jonny Greewood. Any endorsement from them is likely to increase your popularity so I think it's respectable Greenwood lend himself to create this compilation for Trojan Records (the Motown of Jamaican music). It will undoubtedly shed new light and bring interest in musicians that definitely deserve it.

As for the mix, it's great. You would imagine that Greenwood would pick mostly dub or more experimental tracks but that's not the case at all. Lee Perry and Scientist are present, but besides that it mostly consists of soulful rocksteady and reggae tracks ranging from artists such as Lival Thompson, The Heptones, Desmond Dekker, and Marcia Aitken.

V/A - Sí, Para Usted: The Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba, Volume 1

It's hard to be Puerto Rican and not like Salsa. It's all around you and you grow up on it, but just like a lot of musical styles it can hit a dead end. A lot of it starts to sound repetitive. That's why when I first heard this I couldn't believe it. I thought I was fairly well informed when it came to Cuban music but I never thought there would be a crop of Cuban musicians from the 70's that were blending the island's typical Son and Salsa sounds with psychedelic, progressive, middle eastern, avant-garde, and fusion influences creating a funky melting pot. Apparently there was a steady stream of American and European records flowing into the island and these local musicians absorbed all their influences creating some throughly unique recordings that until recently were criminally unavailable to a wider audience. What's even more surprising is that a lot of these bands were government sponsored and on their payroll. Apparently Fidel liked hitting the bong and listening to some good shit.
