Tshona! Is an influential collaborative album between pianist Pat Matshikiza, and saxophonist Kippie Moketsi originally released on The Sun tag in 1975, also featuring Basil Mannenberg Coetzee. We Are Busy Bodies will reissue the album on April 15 as part of it's Pat Matshikiza and Kippie Moketsi trilogy of releases. The album has been remastered from the original tape by Noah Mintz and artwork restored by Steve Lewin. Tshona is a Xhosa command meaning plunge into the water or dive into a hole - the meaning captured by artist Mafa Ngwenya in the cover drawing. Language purists, however, shake their heads and see a generation going to the dogs when they hear us in the townships saying 'Tshona' when we invite somebody to join us in work we are doing, or when we point to a destination and tell a guy 'Tshona Khona'. But with the poetry of the young, we ignore thepurists and continue to invite people to our immersion 'Tshona'. - Joe Thloloe1. Shrimp Boats2. Stop and Start3. Umgababa4. Kippie's Prayer

When talking about Teutonic (German) Thrash Legend Pioneers it's essential to speak of ACCU§ER with the same hushed reverence as SODOM, KREATOR, and DESTRUCTION. ACCU§ER is a thrash metal band from Kreuztal, Germany that formed in the early 80's flying the crunchy speed & thrash metal flag with all the fervor of the most intense mosh pit imaginable. Despite not landing a contract with a major tag for their early albums, the band continued to a string of successful underground releases before disbanding for eight years. After Frank and René decided to get Accuser back together, the saga continued with the band releasing one album with Century Media and their three most recent albums with Metal Blade Records. The guitars are energetic and thick as a brick with aggressive melodic vocals. ACCU§ER is the perfect band for those who worship at the altar of technical thrash and speed metal in the vein of classic Metallica, Slayer, Believer, Death Angel, Dark Angel and Deliverance. With such strong lyrical content and musical brilliance, fans can now have access to these previously high-priced collectibles. These are essential head-bangers! Limited to just 100 cassette copies!
