A melting pot of roots, steppas, dubstep and folk traditions, “Twisted Roots” moves from slow, psychedelic one-drop rhythms to heavier, uptempo sounds while bringing Scottish musical heritage into conversation with traditions from Appalachia, India and beyond. The result is a record that feels expansive without losing the identity at the heart of An Dannsa Dub: ancient Scottish instruments and melodies meeting heavy bass, modern production and a global soundsystem sensibility.
“Twisted Roots” explores connection, resilience, identity, freedom and cultural exchange. From the roots-and-culture message of the opener to the traditional Gaelic song “Cò Nì Mire Rium”, the Appalachian-inspired “Trials & Tribulations”, and the liberation-minded “Born To Be Free”, the album continually returns to the idea that music can carry tradition forward rather than simply preserve it.
So in my to post folder I have another 4 Exploding White Mice albums, 2 more Cul de sac albums, and 4 Goldblade albums to post and a couple more albums. So in total thats another 12 or 13 posts. Therefore at one per day will take 12 or 13 days to post. Once these have been posted that's it for me!! I have had enough.
And we have Box of Vibes so that's another 2 posts.
If the site carries on it carries on but I need out!!!
Ok sent on an email the location of the link on one of my posts, not even a reply saying they have downloaded it or a thanks, either via a return email or a comment. Why should I put myself out, if you can't do the right thing back. There is always the few that spoil it for the rest, like dave!! at least if he's still taking from here I don't to put up the same comment on every post here.
So is simple as of today, if you can't find the lnk, well it ain't my problem any more, if you can't find it then it's your problem not mine. Don't ask, I made a post explaining where to find the links on the posts. Which you can't be bothered to take the time to read.
And in a couple more weeks when the links could be anywhere on the post, well the same, sorry but your out luck. The whole idea of the hidden links was to halt the grabbers here, which it seems to have halted a little bits at least. Ok thought about this more just now and from today the link could be anywhere on the post, gaps, images or text.
So also from today there will be only the one post per until I decide otherwise. I am in 2 minds just to close the whole thing down. I have plenty of other ways to spend my time.

Had a comment (not needed) I see my mistakes anyway in the end and is tagged correct anyway and says Cul de sac on the art work!!, from someone complaining I had mistitled this post, well quiet frankly I had already seen it. But was busy with something else!!
And to be honest I will title my posts as I see fit.
So keep your nose out in the future (you're not wanted here and you already know this), go get a life!!!
You're one of the reasons we keep the comments approval only!!!
Minneapolis garage-punk and noise-rock trio The Blind Shake have recorded with noise legend Michael Yonkers and Drive Like Jehu / Hot Snakes / Rocket From the Crypt swami John Reis. This record dials up the distortion pedals, leans into psych-rock reverb weaving traditional surf-rock echo and trebly wiggles through layers of noisy indie rock. On Goner records.

Thought I would post these on the same post, they were found as flac files, while cleaning in the P folder, they have been converted to 320. They are all in the one link, it was easier. I would click the info above which will take you to the Pole bandcamp page, where you can take a listen, these won't be everyone's cup of tea that's for sure!
Pole 1 (1998), Pole 2 (1999) and Pole 3 (2000), originally released as three consecutive albums in their own right, and described by The Wire as“…a set of roadmaps for the soul”, are presented together to highlight Pole’s deliberate statement - reinforced by the titling of the albums and their minimalist monochrome cover art.
Pole’s music has a unique way of oscillating between melody and avant-garde, between pop and experimental. While many of his electronic peers swore off all danceable elements during the latter half of the 1990s, Pole decided to walk the edge, championing both radical reductionism and psychedelic dream states. Tracks like ‘Kirschenessen’ or ‘Hafen’ give ample proof that his music doesn’t limit itself to mere functionalism, but encourages new and poetic associations.
Pole’s classic 1 2 3 trilogy still resonates in contemporary electronic music. The unmistakeable crackles infiltrated both mainstream Pop and the burgeoning Dubstep scene and now, with the reissue of his first three albums, listeners get a chance to experience Pole 1-3 as a coherent entity and explore this defining benchmark in the history of electronic music.
The re-issue of pole´s album releases, 1, 2 and 3, collated as box set (cd and vinyl) were released on Mute records April 24th 2020.

Now 75, Muldaur became a dynamo in her fifties, an album a year between 1998 and 2011. Always a nuanced singer, she got subtler, sassier, and smarter; her pipes remained supple and the burr in her voice never went to seed. But her best albums were sharpened by a concept, particularly the wide-ranging Memphis Minnie tribute Richland Woman Blues and the mind-blowing .Heart of Mine: The Love Songs of Bob Dylan and its climactic "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," which gets busier in that easy chair than was dreamt of in the Byrds' philosophy. This album flips the script by breaking out an obscure songbook rather than reimagining a famous one. Muldaur has been performing Blue Lu and Danny Barker's lubricious title song since it spiced up her solo debut in 1973, and in 2007 she assembled a whole album called Naughty, Bawdy & Blue. Here she lightens her timbre in tribute to her friend Lu on top of a hyperactive New Orleans band, and she's never sounded sexier or more committed. "Georgia Grind" jumps out at "Mama mama look at sis," after which "Loan Me Your Husband" follows hard upon "Leave My Man Alone." But it signifies that naughty and bawdy ain't all. "Now You're Down in the Alley" and "Here's a Little Girl from Jacksonville" could double as 50s dance novelties, "Nix on Those Lush Heads" means what it says, and if "Trombone Man Blues" evokes Dinah Washington at her filthiest, "A Little Bird" ends happily ever after. After all, Blue Lu and Danny were wed for 67 years. (Robert Christgau)

Box 58 is here opened by 8 selections from Andy 1 to 8, then Concha has the next 8 songs, from 9 to 16 and finally comes my (Reb) tunes from 17 to 24. See you next week with Box 59.
There is a reason that John Reis (Rocket from the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes) has produced both of Mrs. Magician’s records. You might think that it is because they are on his label Swami and the fact they are from San Diego but you would be wrong. It actually is quite simple – he knows a good edgy band when he hears it. Mrs. Magician’s 2012 debut, Strange Heaven, was a little buried in reverb, hence their surf punk tag, but Bermuda smartly trims the weight and creates eleven sonically tight rock songs that still contain the groups base but fires off catchy power pop numbers that are hard to turn down.
Was cleaning in the P folder in the HD and found this, so thought I would share it when I tested it all the tracks weren't 192,track 2 is in fact only 128, I have looked for a better copy without anyluck, so will post it as is. Track 2 Dry is the 128 track. At copy at 192 is better than no copy at all in my book!!
Excellent soundboard recording.

Ok awhile ago I decide we wouldn't post anything here on a Sunday, but have been thinking about this the last week. And from today anyone is free to post, if the want to, I doubt if I will. But any other team member can make their own decision on this.
I also said we would close over the Christmas period, but thought a little bit about this and in the past it was down to the members, and this seemed to work, so we will do the same again this year. Just expect fewer posts then normal on Vibes.
Am still thinking about the summer of 2027, if we close for one or two months or not at all ?
The hidden links on my posts are staying, your all getting the hang of it, regular users know what to do, if your new here and can't find the link on the post then put your email addy on a comment, we won't post it, but I will email you the location of the hidden link. Or you can simply send an email to the site address on the right and I will do the same.
In a month or so the hidden could be anywhere on the posts, gaps (as now) text or images, when this starts it will say on the posts.
As I have said a few weeks ago, I will no longer be sharing flac or wav on posts, only 320, the reason is very simple if I post flac, if i have to repost I need to keep a copy and this takes too much space on HD's. So I will delete some of the flac I have stored, when I get flac I convert a 320 version anyway, so in the future as with 2 reposts I posted this week the flac was replaced by the 320 version. So if you request a repost of something posted originally in flac, yeah i'll repost it but will be only as 320, so remember this when making a repost request.
Some Easy Magic is one of the most enjoyable garage albums of the year, a pure-pop record for the Terminal Boredom set. Lo-fi ,surf -noise ,jangle-pop. On Hozac records.
2006 - Heart Of Mine Maria Muldaur Sings Love Songs Of Bob Dylan @320
It has always struck me as a bit of an oxymoron that Bob Dylan, a man whose speech you could seldom understand, is considered a legendary songwriter and performer. Here, another tribute comes Dylan’s way, in the form of Maria Muldaur’s Heart of Mine, subtitled Love Songs of Bob Dylan.
Muldaur’s association with Dylan’s music originates in the turbulent ’60s, when speaking out on social issues was not only prominent in the daily headlines, but became a mainstay in popular music. Both artists were playing the same Greenwich Village scene coffeehouses. “It occurred to me,” Muldaur says, “that while Dylan is mostly known for his scathing, perceptive, brutally honest and insightful songs of social consciousness, he has in fact, over the years, written many deeply passionate, poignant and moving love songs.”
Muldaur has recorded an outstanding version of “Lay Baby Lay (Lay Lady Lay)”, the song that people of my generation first associate with Dylan. On it, Muldaur regains the sensuality that made her own song “Midnight at the Oasis” a top six tune in 1973. Her eponymous debut was ranked on the Billboard album chart for more than six months largely on the strength of the single, and the record went on to earn platinum status.
As good as Muldaur’s performance is on “Lay Baby Lay”, she is even better on the bluesy “To Be Alone with You”. Many a man will feel weak in the knees as he listens to Muldaur sultrily coo, “To be alone with you / Just you and me / Now won’t you tell me true / Ain’t that the way it oughta’ be? / To hold each other tight?”
Fans of blues music are in for a real treat, however, when they hear the tandem of Cranston Clements (acoustic guitar) and Grammy Award-winner Danny Caron (electric rhythm guitar) lay down some sweet licks. Caron in particular is spectacular in his solo. The guitarist is a veteran of the Texas music scene and has performed with artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Marcia Ball, John Lee Hooker, and Van Morrison. Muldaur sings the blues the way it should be sung: with passion, heartbreak, and personal experience. “Golden Loom” matches her great vocals in a call-and-response with David Torkanowsky’s keyboard magic.
The lady demonstrates she can be seductive in several genres with her invitation, “Won’t you meet me in the moonlight alone?” “Moonlight” has that easygoing southern charm to which it is difficult to say no. What makes this song work so well is the instrumental accompaniment. David Torkanowsky’s keyboard chops, Hutch Hutchison’s strong bassline, and Tony Braunagel’s drumming supported by the good picking by Caron and Clements are a testament to the terrific arrangement. We should also tip our hat to Muldaur, who wore the producer’s hat for Heart of Mine.
Readers are forewarned that not all the tracks on this album are blues and jazz. Muldaur chose to record several covers of Dylan’s tunes with a country twang. Tracks nine, 10, and 11 are country, and the last track is bluegrass.
Sorry I have been forgetting to add the links to discogs, these are added if you want more info and the full art work for the share. I don't keep any artwork for anything I have I need to look, so many of my post will now just include the cover and maybe nothing in the folder you're gonna download, so this link means to can download whatever you want from the link.

Released in 1988, 'The Original Man' is the powerful debut album from Reggae artist Andrew Tosh, son of the legendary Wailers co-founder Peter Tosh. Arriving shortly after his father's tragic passing, the album is deeply steeped in classic Roots Reggae, featuring conscious lyrics and heavy, steady grooves. It served as both a poignant tribute to his father's musical legacy and a bold statement of Andrew's own artistic identity, ultimately earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album in 1989.
