Thanks to @BlueCanary for posting one of this chap’s albums. Often think that the music I love the most comes from places where genres cross.

Talking of crossing genres try Dhafer Youssef a Tunisian oudist and muezzin vocalist (amazing range). The best for me is Divine Shadows where he plays with a bunch of Scandi electro jazzers. Saw them at the Barbican in the noughties and was blown away.

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (MOV)
Enjoying this though my favourite Hendrix is Band Of Gypsy’s.
Never quite sure about the SQ on this, I dont have anything to compare, its enjoyable but I find theres a thinness and compressed nature to the sound which makes it difficult to crank the volume.
Its the MOV Authorized Hendrix Edition allegedly remastered all analogue from the original 2 track tapes by Jimi’s original engineer (Eddie Kramer?) but I have my doubts.
