Mustafa’s When Smoke Rises CD. It was cellophane wrapped and box fresh as well. I wasn’t expecting that. I do wish that CD’s dating back to 1985 were all sold in cardboard sleeves, and not the crappy plastic that doesn’t exactly age very well.
I’ve little to say about Mustafa, apart from commenting on the laid back ambience and all round chilled nature of the album. It was a very welcome drop on the 1,001 Albums list this week.
We’ve actually surpassed the official 1,001 albums now. What’s being served up instead is reader recommendations. Most of this is new new music over the past decade or so, rather than traditional classic rock.
It means that albums like When Smoke Rises get a look in - something that I very much welcome as I continue to widen my taste - and my need for some more CD shelving.
