Salil Chowdhury's Madhumati has the distinction of having a five star overall rating on RYM, from four users. I can't keep the streak up, but it's still beyond excellent. Baazi is more than okay, too. ugh I have no idea why I suck so much at reviewing today. Spotify has sapped my ability to discuss music apparently.
Barrister's Fuji Garbage Series 1 is about as good as you could expect from an album with a keytar on its cover (twice!) It actually works surprisingly well for being so synthetic in such a cheap way though obviously it's almost obscene compared to the original Fuji Garbage album. Still, even in plastic, the grooves still cook and are pretty intoxicating once you get into 'em. The second one's a touch less plastic, but also more static and overlong.
also hey relistening to Expensive Shit is reifying (geddit, like gender?) my decision to not have any Fela on my 70s list - dude can make thirteen minutes feel like thirty, in the bad way. He got better in the eighties, swear to god.
back 2 the fuji - Fuji Ropopo by Kollington Ayinla is a touch warmer than the Barrister albums, and has a little more variety. But I think I might need to pace myself with fuji albums because it can very easily get very tedious.
