Yes, nice Audacious / WinAmp nostalgia. But Audacious can also look like this:

And to be on topic:

Khruangbin - A La Sala

I just love it.

^ Nostalgia?
No way.

I don't know anyone who would like to be thirty years younger.

Proper. Thanks for sharing.
Also a proper record store, Honest Jon’s. They’re big on dub.
Back in the day, they were the go to place for Basic Channel and Rhythm & Sound releases in the UK (or anywhere in the world outside Germany, for that matter).

EdiT:
Since you reminded me, Rhythm & Sound - Carrier (Invidious // Youtube)
To this day, even without the ganja augmentation of years past, this track does things to me that I cannot explain.

As far as I know, Elton is against AI.

And I'm listening to

"Once in a Lifetime" - one of the greatest songs of all time.

@glittersloth, cool (also your latest link, excellent). My link was highlife, yours was Afrobeat, as you know. What's maybe coincidental is that 'Remain in Light' (1980), posted by @Pirx, is specifically mentioned on the Afrobeat Wikipedia page as being highly influenced by Afrobeat, and introducing it into pop culture.

So, I might as well post another Eno/Byrne collaboration, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, recorded before Remain in Light but
released a year after that album.

The highlight of that album is maybe 'Regiment', as it features Robert Fripp on guitar with some classic Frippertronics...

But the next track, Help Me Somebody, is definitely Afrobeat influenced and is much more fun.

Seeing that, I went back and listened to it. I love highlife, especially Ghanaian, but found that one a bit rough in the sound, and faded out too soon. Never mind.

Frippertronics is surely what Terry Riley was already doing some years earlier eg in Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band on the A Rainbow in Curved Air album. But Fripp used it live in real time, which is an interesting step.
Regiment is one of my favourite tracks on Bush of Ghosts. I especially like that lead instrument which I thought at first was Fripp's guitar, but now think is maybe a keyboard?

Sub-digression: around 1980 my brother spent a couple of years as a volunteer in Ghana. That's how I discovered highlife music, but also after he came back I found on the bookshelf in our parents' house a paperback called My Life in the Bush of Ghosts no less. I knew nothing of the Fripp/Eno album at that time but read the book and enjoyed it. Neither Fripp nor Eno had read it when they made the album apparently, but they seem quite linked anyway. Worth a read.

Wikipedia wrote:

The novel is presented as a collection of related narratives, although not always in chronological order, which adds to its surreal and dreamlike quality.

I got to hear the album a few years later, thanks to a friend who also lives in Japan. I was OMG I know that title! That same friend also turned me on to the music of Jon Hassell who I'd strongly recommend to anyone who hasn't yet heard his stuff. I still have a lot of catching up to do myself, but here's a collaboration with Eno which came out in 1980, just before Bush of Ghosts: Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics Really good!

Apparently Bush of Ghosts was going to be a 3-way Hassell/Eno/Byrne collaboration but either by accident or not Jon Hassell was excluded and the sound got less subtle and more Rock. Hassell was pissed off. Here's quite a good interview about his life and music where Bush of Ghosts shows up: https://www.furious.com/perfect/hassell.html He never got to the rock star status of Byrne or Eno, but had an important place in the music.

Eno wasn't happy about the fact that "Remain..." got all the attention. He also wanted "Remain..." to be album by Talking Heads and Brian Eno. If it was up to Byrne then it would have probably happened, but the rest of the Heads said "no". "My Life..." is a better album, IMO.

I’ve been on an Ebo Taylor trip lately (as you might be able to tell from a prior post). More gateway highlife than deep highlife, but it’s what I’ve been in the mood for.

I know, that was the joke (such as it was). The video was posted in response to Elton's comments concerning AI in music.

[Edit: Back to "Rock Of The Westies" and "Yell Help".
