Toto Bissainthe was one of the most prolific singers to come from the Caribbean. Haiti’s turbulent history and incredible culture are seemingly contained in any of Bissainthe’s overwhelmingly moving folk songs. Raw emotion and true to form vodun traditional melodies. She is the truth, and a testament to the purpose of music in its purest form: to express, heal, remember, and celebrate. Her full catalog is for sale on her official website.

Straight from King’s vaults: Rotary Connection – Peace (1968)
Peace (Side 1)
Peace (Side 2)
Rotary Connection’s psychedelic chamber soul continues to sound ambitious and progressive decades after the group’s departure. Instantly recognizable from the dramatic string arrangements of Charles Stepney and the five-octave voice of Minnie Riperton, the group released six albums between 1967 and 1971 that combined rock, soul, and psychedelia to theatrical and occasionally transcendental heights.

May you have a peaceful holiday and an incredible 2010.

Musician and producer Damien Shingleton has given SNS a lovely mix of organic futurism with his podcast for Saturn Never Sleeps from the other side of the Atlantic. It’s show #35 for his radio show in Cornwall, The Screechy Badman’s Dinner Party, which you can also listen to live at Source FM – specifically done with the SNS vibration in mind, very much in the tradition of John Peel, celebrating the sound electric.
