Onra - Chinoiseries (2007)



NOTES FROM BACK OF 2x VINYL LP:
"I started Chinoiseries in August 2006, when I got back from a trip to Viet Nam, the land of my grandparents. As a vinyl junky, I really couldn't come back to France without bringing back some wax. After hours spent riding on a motorbike in Saigon streets, a taxi finally helped me find some old Asian records. I was feeling like an explorer discovering a forgotten treasure. I bought almost 30 vinyls, most of them in poor condition, went back to the crib, and started making beats with some material that I wasn't used to."

MADE IN FRANCE

The Seven Voyages of Captain Sinbad



Behold! Glorious spliff-burnin' beats from the year 1982 that have nothing to do with the wonderful cover art. Album produced by 'Junjo' Lawes. Mixed by the one and only Scientist and vocals backed by the well-known Roots Radics.
