#69 starts with a solemn piece from the German doomjazzers Bohren und der Club of Gore then goes right into some Easy Tempo and nujazz. “Working mood” from the late Byron Lee and Burning Spear’s Jordan River are two exquisite examples of jamaican soul/roots music, especially the former which is a stark contrast to what the man did afterwards (soca/dancehall). The last bit has some cosmic non-Fela afrobeat and Peruvian chicha by Juaneco. This particular song “Linda Nena” might be one of the best tunes that I’ve listened last year, ends with some space electro by Roland Bocquet.
