Half Dead Ganja Music
Platform 23 Records’ meandering, and sporadic journey continues, digging up archival treasures of known and unknown music sonics.

Myscitismes

Alternatif Réalisme
Emotional Rescue are doing a fine job of sifting through the considerable Vox Populi! archives to present the finest sounds from this most adventurous of French collectives.

Magiques Creations
Following the excellent reissue of Aither last year, Emotional Rescue return to the dreamy, decidedly tripped out sound world of French-Persian outfit Vox Populi! with this enchanting collection of early rarities from the early to mid 80s. There's a range of moods on offer here, sounding very much of the era with dashes of On-U dub colliding with kosmische and the worldly outlook of Byrne, Brian Eno, Jon Hassell et al. It's a varied listen and a wonderful introduction to a band that could …
