Various - Box Of Vibes No. 21 (R-A-C) (2026) 320
* I have decided to move the posting of Box Of Vibes to Mondays, from now on, So we reach Box 21. I (Reb) start this week with my selections from 1 to 8, then we get Andy's tracks from 9 to 16 and finally comes Conch's tracks from 17 to 24, Box closed. *
* We compiled these home made compilations about 6 months ago, so every week, I move the one to post into the laptop from the storage HD. So a take another listen!! You forget what tracks you used, so is nice to catch up with them again, I take a listen while fishing. *
* The main idea of these compilations is you introduce you to different genres of music, artists and band that maybe are new to you. Cover versions and alternative versions of songs that maybe you already know. *
* So take a listen, maybe you'll discover something interesting, please take the time to comment your opinion on these compilation good or bad, all feed back on them is very welcome. *
* For me we don't need art work, we just let the music included do the talking, after all it's all about the music selected!! Just a screenshot of the tracklist on the post is perfect. *
* Enjoy, Reb 😎 Link 👇 *
1998 - Pierce Turner - The Compilation
1998 - Pierce Turner - The Compilation @320
"Some time ago I bought a double cassette, "Bringing It All Back Home", taken from a BBC TV series which explored the influence of Irish music on modern rock, featuring music from a diverse selection of artists including The Everly Brothers, Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Paul Brady and various others from contemporary and traditional fields. One artist on this album immediately stood out, even among this illustrious company - Pierce Turner. He contributed a recording of his song, "All Messed Up". After a few playings, this song began to haunt me and I found I was singing it to myself as I drove along. Nobody I spoke to knew anything of Pierce and I could find no other recordings in the record shops.
Eventually, I searched out Pierce on the internet and found that indeed there was a recording available which I duly ordered from Amazon. Don't expect to immediately fall in love with this album - it creeps up on you! After four decades of listening to rock music here was something slightly familiar but somehow definitely "different". Pierce's music is essentially Irish but entirely devoid of the more obvious celtic clichés. There are traces of his early years as a choir boy, playing in showbands in Ireland (a tough apprenticeship, I would imagine) and all is overlaid with influences from his current home, New York. The recordings are vivid and have the feel of true performance, including one excellent "live" recording, and are beautifully played with passion, energy and flare. (When is someone going to get him to play in England?) The songs appear to spring from spontaneous reaction to real events in his life, written with a poet's command of language, power of expression and compassion. (Perhaps this is where the Irishness comes through.) One ends up feeling privileged to be allowed to share such personal and strongly felt experiences.
Comparisons with other artists are irrelevant. Here is a truly individual and original artist, writing and performing from the heart. It seems that this is a compilation of two previous albums. Can this mean that there is some of this precious material lost in the wilderness? I can't wait for the next one!
One review of Pierce Turner's music suggest that you will fall so deeply in love with this album that you will carry a photograph of it in your wallet, next to your heart. Well, order it now and take time to get to know it - and make some space in your wallet for the photo - you're going to love it!" Amazon review

2024 - Yemi Alade - Rebel Queen
2024 - Yemi Alade - Rebel Queen (Flac)
Nigerian Afro-pop sensation Yemi Alade is set to dazzle the world with her latest album, Rebel Queen. This release marks her sixth studio record and tenth overall, further solidifying her status as one of Africa’s reigning musical queens.
Rebel Queen is a testament to Yemi’s deep-rooted love for her heritage and her unyielding drive to innovate within the industry. The album intertwines vibrant Afro-pop with influences from dancehall, amapiano, lingala, and more, presenting a rich auditory experience. Through tracks sung in Yoruba, English, Igbo, French, and Swahili, Yemi not only celebrates her African roots but also extends her influence globally.
The 16-track collection includes standout collaborations with iconic artists like Angélique Kidjo, Ziggy Marley, Innoss’B, and Konshens, showcasing Alade’s ability to blend genres seamlessly and align with global stars. Each song, from the celebratory ‘Happy Day’ to the introspective ‘Tomorrow’, reflects a unique facet of Yemi’s artistic vision.
Yemi’s creative process for Rebel Queen was inspired by a blend of traditional African rhythms and contemporary sounds, aiming to capture the essence of African music that resonates across generations. As she prepares for her African Rebel tour, starting at Pop-Kultur Berlin on August 30, the African superstar continues to set the bar high with her dynamic performances and profound musical contributions.
With Rebel Queen, Yemi reaffirms her place as a global music powerhouse and a champion of African culture.
Afterlight (Thea Gilmore) – Afterlight (2021) 320
* Afterlight was a project from British singer-songwriter, Thea Gilmore, she only recorded the one album under the Afterlight moniker, reverting back on the next album to Thea Gilmore. I am cleaning in my HD's and of course started at A, so will move this in the Thea Gilmore folder in the T folder. So all is together there is most likely a copy there already!! 😆 *
