great funk record from the famous Columbian label Discos Fuentes. heavy and very danceable. great percussion (tons of cowbell), heavy bass, and some wild Farfisa organ work.

two cool noisy soundscapes. first track is built on scraping metal sounds that remind me of Bertoia's Sonambient work. somehow quite relaxing.

a classic Swedish psych record that I don't think I've ever heard in full before. oops. it's notable for being the first one sung in Swedish.
