La Musique Electronique Du Niger Exclusive LP fg_Catalog Number_MP01601 “It’s Tricky”A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing. Mamman Sani Abdoulaye, a legendary name amongst Nigers avant garde, presents a singularly unique recording of minimalist organ music from the Sahara. Dreamy and hypnotic, the sound is unlike anything coming out of West Africa before or since, closer in effect to early electronic experiments of Kraftwerk. Mamman composes in technique that can only be called minimal, relying on the simplicity and space.
