"Sounds like the soundtrack to the funkiest space-aged african disco party" - MUSIC IS MY SANCTUARY"Bonkers Afro disco holy grail" - PHONICA

“Should you stumble on an original copy of N'Draman Blintch's 1980 album Cosmic Sounds for sale, it would cost you upwards of 1,000 Pounds. This, then, is a much-needed reissue. It contains four fine cuts that showcase the Ivory Coast-born musician's distinctively intergalactic take on Afro-disco, where spacey electronics and mazy synth lines rise above bustling, high octane grooves” - JUNO
“Afro disco feat some insane drum breaks and synth action, this is peak time territory for all the cosmic dance-floors out there." - CEDRIC WOO (BEAUTY & THE BEAT)
"Amazing, psychedelic, engagé afro-disco from the same milieu as William Onyeabor. Very warmly recommended." - HONEST JONS
"Truly obscure, killer and a true missing link which is known to be elusive, even for hardcore diggers." - DISKUNION
"While the long songs and keys might recall some of William Onyeabor’s music, the overall groove is tighter and a lot more soulful - beautiful tracks that take all the long-form jamming of Afro Funk ensembles, and bring it down to a small combo mode, with wonderful live interplay between drums, bass, keayboards and guitar!" - DUSTY GROOVE
