The problem is that I live in Madrid and I just didn't know how or when I was ever going to listen to this beautiful music again. I've just downloaded it now--I'm listening to it as I write.

The ebbs and flows of M/MQ together and apart were pretty typical of bands everywhere, sometimes for art, sometimes for commerce.Rhythm Connectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945589532553100784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927335617407533554.post-33445223277423834852013-08-30T00:24:15.340-08:002013-08-30T00:24:15.340-08:00The first reunion lp was recorded in '83 follo...The first reunion lp was recorded in '83 followed by another in '84, and tracks from these appeared on the first Indestructible Beat of Soweto compilation long before either of the two Euro-friendly lps mentioned in the post.
