Ghédalia Tazartès - Diasporas 1979 Italy
"Ghedalia Tazartes is a nomad. He wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. He paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Parisian anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies."Get it Here.

Bobby Beausoleil - Lucifer Rising Soundtrack
Kenneth Anger (satanist/filmmaker) had an actor in mind to play Lucifer, but then attended a happening in San Francisco being performed by the 19 year old Bobby Beausoleil's psychedelic chamber music group, The Orkustra. He was enthralled and after the show, he approached Beausoleil to take the lead role in Rising, who agreed on one condition - that he write and have The Orkustra perform the soundtrack. Long story short, Anger and Beausoleil commenced filming but then had a falling out. Beausoleil joined Charles Manson's cult killed a drug dealer for selling him shitty mescaline and was convicted to death, then luck have it California changed their laws and he is now serving life in prison (inconsequentially he's up for parole again in 2013). Meanwhile with Beausoleil tied up in prison Anger decided to have Jimmy Page write the soundtrack. Page wrote a 23 minute long soundtrack and the film toured on it for a few years. But after three years of showing the film Anger decided he was not happy with the music, Anger and Page had a falling out, and in the late 70's he contacted Beausoleil to see if he would be willing to write the soundtrack. With permission, Bobby Beausoleil wrote and performed this soundtrack in prison, accompanied by his fellow prisoners. This is the soundtrack that is on the final version of the film.Get it Here.
4 extra tracks recorded by Beausoleil's other bands, The Orkustra and The Magick Powerhouse of Oz can be found Here.
Group Bombino - Guitars From Agadez, Vol. 2 2009 Niger
"Group Bombino is the latest salvo from the Agadez music scene. Led by the guitar virtuoso Omara Mochtar (Bombino), the group's debut LP -- volume two in the Guitars From Agadez series, represents the latest chapter in the modern sound of the Tuareg revolution. As of 2008, the Tuareg rebellion is in full force again, and Bombino is in exile to parts unknown. Agadez has been cut off from the rest of the country. The only road that connects this legendary city with the rest of the country is littered with land mines and the only escorts are the military. This music and its messages of hope, justice, and desire for validation of the Kel Tamachek way of life ring louder than ever. Group Bombino are gaining mythic status in and around the Tuareg community for their incendiary live performances. Coming from the same scene as Group Inerane and sharing some of the same musicians, Group Bombino showcase both sides of the Tuareg guitar style. Side one features the "dry guitar" sound, an unplugged selection of songs sung among the dunes, camels and stars of the Tenere desert. Side two showcases the electric fury of the full band, a melding of heavy, psychedelic guitar heroics with a raw, garage sound, back beat percussion, all swirling in extended trance rock moves. Recorded live and unfiltered in Agadez and the surrounding desert in early 2007, with the band's equipment powered by generators and an unflinching dedication to the rebellion, Group Bombino's music transcends any influence and ignites the raw passion of its message to the outside world. This is a one-time pressing of 1,500 copies. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl and housed in a gatefold full-color jacket stocked with great photos of the musicians and liner notes by Hisham Mayet."

Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music 1974 USA
"Palestine's Strumming Music (1974) remains his best-known work. It features over 45 minutes of Palestine forcefully playing two notes in rapid alternation that slowly expand into clusters. He performed this on a nine-foot Bösendorfer grand piano with the sustain pedal depressed for the entire length of the work. As the music swells (and the piano gradually detunes), the harmonics build and the listener can hear a variety of timbers rarely produced by the piano. A recording of Strumming Music was also Palestine's first album, released in 1991."utube it Here.
