Congolese Music / Very big mistake this concert was recorded so poorly« on: June 24, 2015, 23:28 »
This is a historical video recorded in prefect circumstances. Clear picture, great performance, but channels are missing from the sound, incl. the lead guitar. Very big mistake. I can't believe it. I wonder if the original recording is so poor as well, or the user who posted the video recorded only one channel from the vhs player. It seems as if only one side would be present from the stereo. I wonder if a complete recording is available somewhere with both channels audible.

Congolese Music / Old Extra Musica live clips from Benin« on: June 09, 2015, 22:34 »
Live recordings of Extra Musica are quite rare on Youtube, especially from the 90's. Here are two from Benin. The show was held in 1999. Songs are: Etat Major and Losambo. Unfortunately the recording is not mixed well, some instruments are inaudible.

Congolese Music / A remark about Roga Roga's Contentieux album« on: April 17, 2015, 22:52 »
I have expressed several times recently that I am not fully satisfied with albums released in the past 5 years, due to lack of truly good melodies, except for some cases. Roga released this album: Kindoki previously, and the tunes were fine, but I missed a hitting melody. Something that Zaiko is still capable to make. Well, I was suprised when I listened to the song from Roga's new album, the generique: Contentieux 2. I have to say the beginning of the song is just perfect. The melody going until 1:34 in the song has something that I am missing from recent records in the Congolese scene. It has that typical Congolese ambiance that makes you crazy right away, without compromise. Unfortunately I couldn't find this at other parts of this generique and in other songs. Anyway, I like the album itself, the songs are fine, I listen to the song:Contentieux quite often, however I feel if they would have given more attention to composing the solos, it would be a record as hitting as Kala Yi Boeing or Kin É Bougé was in the 90's. A big miss. But I don't give up the hope that soon somebody will realise this and add that 'Extra' to a new album.

General / For Online Buyers: PayPal Buyer Protection just got better!« on: March 20, 2015, 17:09 »
I have just received a newsletter from PayPal, that says:
"You now have up to 180 days to open a dispute. Your order is a) broken; b) not as described; c) not delivered? We've got you covered. If something's not right, we can get your money back. You now have up to 180 days to open a dispute (it used to be 45 days only). This leaves you more time, for example, when you want to buy abroad. Couldn't reach an agreement with the seller? You can get a refund.* " For me these are very good news, because several times when I order from abroad, I cannot order directly to my address, because the seller refuses to ship the item to my country. I ask friends to forward me a package in such cases, but in these situations the time until the packages arrives to me can be quite long, and I might run out of the time available to open a dispute in case there is problem with the item. With this I might have an easier job. 148

It seems the dynamic system is still not out of fuel! 150
