Radio Mecha - Music Box I'm playing some long songs. Afrobeat, jazz, dub, and so forth, mostly. You could listen, if you were so inclined.

Long time fan, first time listener.

Nice stuff, our musical tastes seem to have some overlap. I only know Bill Laswell from his awesome Panthalassa: The music of Miles Davis 1969-1974.

AHE reminds me of Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 but with brass and winds.

Konono No. 1 - Ngudi Vakanda/Lufua-Luangdonga
Cedric IM Brooks - Satta - Masa - Ganna
Bobby Hutcherson - Verse
Art Ensemble of Chicago - Part One: How Strange; Part Two: Ole Jed

(And the song playing now features the singing of Fontella Bass, probably better known for singing 60s R&B songs like 'Rescue Me')

Glad you're enjoying it, furtive.
