long ago but not forgotten, i'd promised JamesHoff -- sonic miscreant & printed matter director of development -- untold quantities of sharity calypso. this promise i never made good on & have long regretted -- but the booming ranks do or diy archivists feverish feeding into the network & tracks sprout bursting in all directions faster than can be netted.
something i've long longed to traipse around &so a skipping Cthursday signposting a knotted network dance to the CALYPSO beat.
yes yes &so it is: here am, having had long neglected this site for other digital endeavors & a series of traveling mishaps (clues in after i finish this) -- herenow bringing a formidable (read: more banana bangers than you can stomach) collection of cold hard calypso sounds indirectly into yr greedy hard drive. all images below are links to sharity pages chock full of calypso albums, what i'd like to feature are some tracks into the sites behind this veritable mountain of marimba, these cavernous calypso crypts -- signposts directing every wch way to the sheer abundance of resources -- toward pulling some bits bytes of this mento madness together.
