Imagine you’re flipping lazily through the channels on Moroccon radio on a dreary African summer afternoon. What would you hear? This album tells you what.
Each track here is a seemingly random string (“collage”) of sound fragments drawn from radio Morocco, including sports and news commentary (in English, French, and Arabic); commercials; Middle Eastern music; Europop and more. The contents transition abruptly on each track, without continuity and often without reason. Interesting concept till the novelty begins to wear off.
If you play just one track, though (and it doesn’t matter which one you pick), you’ll get a good field recording of what life was like in this little nook of the world in the early 1980s.
