    A little late, but still here:

    mtraks
    Beirut - Gulag Orkestar: I'd missed the boat until now on Beirut. The eastern European influence on this album is fantastic.
    Craft Spells - Idle Labor: New dream pop/chillwave. Not my favorite of the bunch as it's a bit sugary, but it's not bad.
    Cult of Youth - s/t: Dark, vaguely post punk, and somewhat gothic. Recalls bands like The Cure. The lead singer's voice is a bit odd, but it's still quite good.
    Frank (Just Frank) - Brutal Wave: New wave revivalists from France. Very recommended.
    Martial Canterel - You Today: Again Dark and vaguely post punk, but less gothic than Cult of Youth. Again quite good.

    eMu
    Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth: Long time coming to get this.
    True Widow - s/t: Very good 90s tinged rock.

    Hey I'm going to have to check out that Let's A Go-Go - two of my favorite recent CD acquisitions were of '60's Japanese Groupsound bands - very similar vibe. Also picked up that Shocking Shaking one when it dropped.

    And how is Persian Funk ? I saw that in the new releases but I was afraid, very afraid.

    EDIT - Holy sacred cow, there's a cover of Wooly Bully, and These Boots Are Made For Walkin' - I'm so there for this one, but even better - a cover of Bang Bang. Wow!

    No, Persian Funk is very cool. If you like that kind of thing anyway - has a definite "Persian" flavour so not just generic "western" sounds. If you like the African/Asian funk/soul crossover compilations there is nothing to fear here.

    I did an 8tracks of some stuff from various Asian comps if you're interested.

    Very nice - but that's not an unprejudiced opinion since I already have most of these albums, but you did prompt me to get Electric Cambodia off the SFL and into the library.

    The Japanese Group Sounds comps I got were GS I Love You - Japanese Garage Bands of the 1960's and GS I Love You Too etc. which I really liked - like most of these other bands they are way more than just a goof or curiosity item. I really like this stuff.

    Oh, I also got this - La Belle Epoque:EMI's French Girls 65-68, which while nowhere near as funky or interesting was not bad at all (it was in the Other Customers Bought bar with the GS and just the right price to get free shipping - good reasoning, huh?).

    Edit - see below - yeah, the Indonesian one is far out.

    Do you have the Indonesian one? That might be my fave right now.
