(Note : a fascinating and unique collection of music by a Czech immigrant to Canada who
        wishes to remain anonymous. Side A contains tracks from 3 singles originally
        released on her own Scarab label in the early '80s, two under the name One of
        You and one credited to The Triffids. The One of You tracks are mournful and
        quietly intense, really something special. Mostly just organ and voice, they
        resemble a mix of outsider minimal Goth and a Czech-accented Nico, maybe. The
        instrumental Triffids tracks are slightly less spare, adding a touch of synth
        and percussion to the mix, and ending up a bit like low-key basement prog.
        Side B consists of Czech-language guitar-based demos recorded in the late '70s,
        and shows a bit more of an Eastern European folk-music influence, with
        occasional subtle folk-psych tinges and some spooky reverb. Amazing stuff)

Esther Suarez, also known as La Ocrasina De Oro, is a popular Peruvian Huayno singer.
'La Bolognesina' is one of her earlier albums, featuring reverbed vocals over Andean
harps supplemented with light percussion and handclaps. The album was recorded in
1981, with the title referring to her roots near the snow-capped Andean mountains of
the Bolognesi province in the Ancash region of Peru. This is a truly beautiful record.

Andean party music from the central sierra of Peru. Tayta Shanti's long history of
complex syncretism is expressed through its simple song structure. Minimal and raw,
or layered with intricate arrangements, its unrelenting rhythm mesmerizes as much as
it moves. 16 songs of pure folklore, spanning the late 1960s until the early 1980s.
The compilation includes liner notes and photos. Instant mountain rave.
