Aashid Himons - The Gods & I LP

Limited Edition 12" Vinyl.

This is a special Record Store Day re-issue in collaboration with Fyraften Musik, who once again prove their expertise in digging up sonic pearls from the sands of time. This time, the re-issue treatment comes to the kosmik gypsy legend Aashid Himons and his eccentric venture of the Jah spirit into 80’s cyberpunk wastelands.

The two tracks here were originally released in 1984 under his solo moniker Aashid on the album Kosmik Gypsy. ‘The Gods & I’, a robotic, reggae-disco crossbreed, is on here both as it sounded originally and as remastered in Fyraften’s handicraft.

‘In A Figga Of Speech’ is an eccentric piece of jittery, weed-smoked electro. “Krystal leaks, ping pong brown, chariot of fire Zion- bound, one billion moon-beams all around, living on a brimstone in a figga of speech.”

We wish to give a special thanks to Tony Gerber & Matumbe Himons for the permission, help and guidance in re-releasing Aashid’s music.
