Featuring the iconic psychedelic disco- funk of Space Talk the infectious Flying Fish and the cosmic transcendence of The Devil Is Loose. We cant think of many artists that have had as distinctive and diverse a journey as Asha, nor who have been involved in as many different genres of music as her. A musical pioneer who forged a path through 60s psych, free- jazz, pop, rock, disco, and more. To mark this golden hour in her stellar career we have repressed her legendary album, The Devil Is Loose, on gold vinyl. Maybe her most well-known record, the 1976 LP features the psychedelic disco-funk-classic Space Talk , where Ashas soaring vocals take listeners on a journey that mirrors her eclectic career. Championed by a wide range of musical scenes and movements, over space and time it has been commandeered as their own. Casting a unique spell on its listeners, each track on the album showcases Ashas majestic, celestial style and sumptuous vocal range. Backed by breathtaking orchestral- infused, disco- enhanced instrumentation , its cinematic and captivating throughout. From the infectious funk of Flying Fish , to the cosmic transcendence of The Devil Is Loose and the choir- channelling Say Yes , this album is a true masterpiece. At Mr Bongo we are thrilled to be releasing records by such an iconic, musical maverick as Asha. She has blazed a trail so that others could follow.
