Taphari - Blind Obedience - CASSETTES

Reissue. Since 2013 Finland's Oranssi Pazuzu has released two critically lauded full length albums via 20 Buck Spin in North America, 2013's Valonielu and 2016's Värähtelijä. Both albums showed the boundless enormity and remarkable uniqueness that this band alone creates. Are they a psych-influenced black metal band or a black-metal-influenced psych band? No one knows for sure and it doesn't matter anyway-no other band bends these genres into such an extraordinarily cohesive whole. For most in North America, the Oranssi Pazuzu black hole only came into focus with the aforementioned last two albums. However, the band has previously recorded and released two full length albums and a split LP. With their growing reputation here, their back catalog has become increasingly in demand. 20 Buck Spin will now present the band's back catalog on various formats domestically for the first time. Muukalainen Puhuu is where the Oranssi Pazuzu story begins. This 2009 debut full length already reveals a band with a firm conceptual and musical mission. For most, this album would be a seasoned, mature display of musical prowess only reached well into their life as a band, and yet for them it's merely the first foray into the limitless expanse that they would come to command.

Ata Kak created a peculiar slice of Ghanaian music history with his debut album InchObaa SimaInch. While it barely made a ripple at the time of it's in 1994, the cassette found a new life online in 2006. A not-so-underground cult obsession grew after it appeared on the blog Awesome Tapes From Africa as it's very first post, a sort of manifesto for the project. His addictive amalgam of left-field electronic music and Twi-language hiplife reached surprising levels of awareness among music fans of many stripes. The mystery behind the musician's identity grew. Eventually Yaw Atta-Owusu came out of the shadows, from his quiet home in Kumasi, to tour the world playing high-energy, sweat-soaked performances at major festivals like Glastonbury, Sónar and Pop Montreal. Now, for the first time since 1994, Ata Kak releases new music. Honed in studios around Kumasi over the last several years, the songs feature the rapper-singer's acrobatic rap, signature scatting, dramatic drums and even traditional Akan harp. The compositions are more ambitious than his earlier work, with more complex arrangements and layered harmonies. Ata Kak's new songs are also the natural expression of a restless artist-he is a prolific poet and author of a half-dozen books, as well as an active gardener and busy painter. Born in Ghana in 1960, Ata Kak wasn't always involved in music. But his travels and openness to the world lead him into the music industry. While living in Germany, he was invited to play drums in a reggae band and subsequently played in highlife bands in Ontario after moving to the Toronto area. He recorded InchObaa SimaInch there at his home studio and released it in Ghana in 1994. He didn't participate in music much in the intervening years until InchObaa SimaInch was reissued in 2015. He started performing his song live with the help of a brilliant cast of London-based musicians and
