In a previous, plus-sized post on Mr. Onyeabor, I've been able to offer up only one-half of this small slab of sweetness. The generous Mr. Feq'wah furnished myself and ourselves with the scorching title track, but for the A-side there was no accounting, save a youtube clip that led back to this interesting blog.
A friend recently sent me a rip of Good Name's other half, "Let's Fall in Love", with the request that I put it out there for all. I'm only happy to oblige, as the track is but another jewel in the Onyeabor sky. Not quite as awesome (by a hair) as the previously available title track, "Good Name", "Let's Fall in Love" is nonetheless a glory and a pleasure: seven-and-a-half minutes of crunchy robobeats, wide synths, the classic lead/backup back-and-forth, and (somewhat unique in Onyeabor's catalogue) a great deal of heroic saxophone soloing. So very very fine.
Thanks to all those who spread the Good Name and Good Sounds of this delightful Nigerian enigma and master. If anyone has a line on Great Lover and a yen to share, give me a holler, please.
GOOD NAME
And again, feel free to check out this previous post on the William O. discography.

Hey there. I thought since I have delved in yr treasure chest for the past week or so & discovered so many gems, I would share one with you. I don't know if you already have this one, but it's a collectopn of Shin Joong Hyun that I picked up today from a local record store here in Seattle. Hopefully you dig it man. Also, thank you again for all of the exotica you post. I never knew that would be something I'd be into, but there are some real gems out there. http://www.mediafire.com/?6ked94ve7fb0t1k let me know what you think!
Hello fellow! Thanks for dropping a comment at this place- and I'm pleased to hear that you've enjoyed some of some of these here treasures.
I've actually heard the Shin Joong Hyun before- that is, I have it- but I never really gave it the real listen. It got lost in the shuffle. So thanks for prompting me to go back and try it out, because it is very awesome. So many unexpected moments. So much which is Cool.
Drop by and say hi anytime, or swap a tune or two.

i have quite a bit, although most of it i'm sure you have already. here is a ms viswanathan tape i found somewhere. the tags were terrible without any info, so it was a little bit of painstaking work, but if yr into bollywood type stuff, then this will be right up yr alley. http://www.mediafire.com/?n3xytcifov70jnr & http://www.mediafire.com/?1105agymr7sd2tr
one more kind sir. this is my aoty of 2k11. http://www.mediafire.com/?ug2e376cbpnzp3ei hope you enjoy my friend. & here's to sonic adventuring of all stripes.
Thanks, man. I do have that Viswanathan comp but the tracks are an unlabelled mess... rather than try to fix them, I may just swap mine out for yours.
And, I don't want to get all up in a gift horse's teeth, but that last link is a little fishy- it seems to just go to mediafire's main page. I'd love to know who the big prize goes to, though.
that's a real shame. it's for run dmt. i'm not sure if you've heard of him. http://www.mediafire.com/?pe3bezn11yws1e0 try that, it should work. just really hazy lo-fi psychedlique jungle doo wop for ancient mayan beaches. & i also want to say keep up the good fight man. yr blog has become a fortress against the rising tide for me in these dark days.
Thanks guys !
Nice!
That makes it 2 to go. Or more?
Well there's Good Lover, and this mysterious alternate Crashes in Love... is that all we know of? Do you know of any other Wilfilms Records?
Once more: something you might be interested in,
one track (Love is blind) from Great Lover posted at Art Decade.
A more disco/ new wave-ish sound...
Enjoy!
Thank you for the tip! Good hunting!
What a swell track, also.
i don't mind people downloading the links i gave out, i just want you to understand that for the ms viswanathan y'all should download both links to have the full tape.
