A must-hear for fans of dub and strange music! The ultimate weapon in Brenda Ray-related releases from EM RECORDS! Cult British LO-FI dub!
Something amazing has arrived from Em Records. When you consider that the Pop Group's "Y" came out that same year, 1979, this sound is just unbelievable. NAFFI SANDWICH was a cult late-'70s band featuring Brenda Ray, known for the whisper-voice reggae classic "Walatta." Following NAFFI SANDWICH's "D'ya Hear Me," which focused on Brenda Ray, comes a compilation spotlighting Brenda's partner and "the other Naffi," Freddie Viaduct! In a shabby town in northwest England, using boomboxes, double-speed 4-track recorders, PA amps with built-in reverb and other LO-FI gear, they built an utterly unique dub sound out of improvised playing and pure inspiration! Astonishing sounds that were only ever released on cassette and 7-inch. Like DANIEL JOHNSTON, DUMP, and the contemporary music crowd, anyone obsessed with the cassette tape format is clearly operating on a different wavelength. A collection of LO-FI junk dub masterpieces that MOONDOG fans need to hear too. Don't miss it!
