Raksha Mancham – Chös Khor (1993)
Belgian band that plays amazing percussion-based music using various indigenous instruments. According to their website:"Chös Khor" refers to a Tibetan concept that can be translated as "the holy circle", "the holy enclosure" or "the holy enclave". "Chös Khor" represents the universe in which the human beings live, the world they inhabit. The musical themes developed in these recordings refer to human populations and their natural environment. "Chös Khor" offers visions of different parts of the World. So by creating that music, the aim of Raksha Mancham is to produce that vision of the World by suggesting images in the mind of the listener.
The only image in my mind while listening to this album is that of an army of African Pygmies drumming and chanting furiously at the end of Time.

Brigitte Fontaine – Comme a la Radio (1971)
I’ve been enjoying this one a lot. Beatnik jazz meets North-African sounding hand-drum rhythms, topped with trippy speak-sung French poetry.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3nfozmyhnzy
Dr. Dre – The Chronic (1992)
Another classic album from Hip Hop’s golden age. This one pretty much blueprinted the West Coast sound for the rest of the decade: thick 70s funk samples and lots of synths. The production is stellar, and Snoop Dogg (who appears on almost every track) just about steals the show with his outrageous antics.Part 1:

Pekka Streng – Kesamaa (1972)
Finnish psych-folk, with some jazzy overtones. Reminds me a little bit of Nick Drake. Quite good.Psarantonis & Ensemble – Son of Psiloritis (1991)
Stark, moody songs performed by this wild man from Crete. He growls and moans about lost love, hurls stones at the moon, admires the rugged freedom of feral mountain goats, and pleads with his mama not to yell at him too much.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zuyjqzj25mt

Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (1995)
Classic Wu-Tang solo record. Gritty gangster narratives set to some of RZA’s most intense production. The hugely anticipated sequel to this album should be coming out sometime this month. Keep an eye out for it.Part 1:

Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys (2006)
Arrrrrrr!! This was released in conjunction with Pirates of the Caribbean 2. The film’s producers got a bunch of people together (including Ralph Steadman, for some reason) and had them record pirate tunes and sea shanties. Check out the list of contributors at allmusic:http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:axfyxqydldke
Anyway, this is a fun and goofy collection of songs; guaranteed to cheer you up if you’re sitting around at home worrying about things like bad job interviews or whether or not you have a brain tumor.
