Busy listening to Ismael Lo's 'Jammu Afrika' - such a beautiful album in parts - don't have a clue what he is singing about but this album is solid from start to finish. Forgot that Marianne Faithfull puts in an appearance here as well.

really?...youve never heard of Mike Batt..!?

i remember as a kid in the UK that whenever his name got bought up on a music show or in general everyone was interested in what his latest project was.

he's an absolute genius IMO, but i sadly dont own any of his works

here's one of many i remember as a kid...

I think Mike Batt grew up, or spent part of his youth, in North Africa (possibly Morocco), so that seems to influence a lot of his work. If you have an experimental ear, try his 'Caravans' Movie soundtrack album. Personally I consider it one of the best in my collection. This is the title track. http://youtu.be/LcYfRysceeQ
