    I hear you and I did pick up The afronaughts upon recommendations
    of this list. Given the flow of tracks, labels and general musical info
    floating around in this forum, I like to be inspired and enlightened
    in my choices of music.

    I listened to Transcend me in my vinylhangout and though I
    had a slightly weird feeling about it, I thought I would give it
    a chance. Only problem is that does get people bewildered.

    It is definately a track for late in the evening provided you
    got an enthusiatic crowd or you play West London.

    I like this list for the hype that is sometimes generated,
    like it so happened with Dj Patife - Sambassim.
    On the other hand - dont (always) believe the hype.
