I got turned on to Art from a Mississippi records tape, download it here. (hint, click the zip link). It's a great little mix tape, most of their mix tapes have bits of wonder on em. http://rootstrata.com/rootblog/?p=1387

If you dig it think about buying something from their reissue catalog. I live about five blocks from their record store. If you had a chance to shop there you would realize they issue these records and tapes out of love for the music, it's a tiny but great little record store.

Another gem I discovered on a Mississippi tape that I shared on Hubski a while back. http://sahelsounds.bandcamp.com/track/hamadth-kah-ce-weeti

    Another gem I discovered on a Mississippi tape that I shared on Hubski a while back. http://sahelsounds.bandcamp.com/track/hamadth-kah-ce-weeti| This was wonderful and very familiar sounding for some reason. Like an African Message in a Bottle.

    Downloaded the tape series, I'll check it out tonight.

without a doubt it's a cover of Message in a Bottle. If there is anything I really dislike about the police it's their overwhelmingly clean production, this cover scrapes off all the fineness leaving just the beauty of the song.

Okay, see I thought that had to be the case, but parts sounded unfamiliar and I didn't find any credit anywhere. But yeah you're totally right about the Police, and right about the interesting "international" feel this guy brought to the cover.
