    Grazieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

    that is awesome!!!

    :)

  • December 18, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    Thanks for posting more song…

    I just can’t understand why you choose to upload poor quality mp3s only this time ?!!?

    The tracks you posted earlier of Ata Kak & taken from the same tape (already on the blog) were much much better quality sound compare to those here !!

  • December 28, 2009 at 10:24 pm

    BIGGGGG UP
    THANK YOU SIR

  • April 1, 2010 at 1:15 pm

    Any chance at all of posting the tape in a higher bit-rate? The Ata Kak material you presented to the world has started to infect all manner of blogs (especially as a result of the glorious video on You Tube of Daa Nyinaa) and it would be so cool to hear a high quality rip of the album…the Ata Kak songs are just so so good and apart from the ‘Obaa Sima’ track on the Afrique K7 compilation, all the other tracks I have heard have been such low quality which is a real shame as this music still sounds as though it was made today and not twenty odd years ago!

    If anyone can help with a good quality rip can they let me know by posting a message here, many thanks.

  • April 4, 2011 at 9:53 pm

    Here you can find a remastered version of the album in good quality: http://www.robotsforrobots.net/viewtopic.php?id=230
    Fantastic!

  • September 1, 2011 at 8:04 pm

    Thanks so much for the HQ rip.

  • February 6, 2013 at 7:28 pm

    Seriously, anyone know where I can buy an actual copy of this?

  • June 22, 2014 at 10:22 pm

    Heard the R4 Documentary. Fully inspired by the music. Thank you.

    Just heard the Radio 4 documentary in the states on BBC Radio World Service. Very interesting story and some very intriguing music. I can’t wait to hear the remake of this album!

  • September 4, 2014 at 9:11 pm

    Heard about Ata Kak and the journey to find him on the BBC!

    I’d really love a good release of this. CD, vinyl… doesn’t matter :)

  • September 9, 2014 at 11:00 am

    Hi Brian, this is Lisa J Whelan from the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC). I am looking to report on crate diggers who come to the region in search of new sounds for western audiences. Would you be willing to answer a few of my questions? You can email me at lisajunewhelan@gmail.com. Thank you for your time.

  • September 14, 2014 at 9:46 pm

    I’ve fallen in love with Ata Kak’s music. So sad this great tunes didn’t make him money then but nice you guys are helping him out. Great work.

  • September 18, 2014 at 6:32 am

    Just listened to the BBC program about your quest to find Ata Kak. It’s great music! I really hope that this will bring global recognition to him.

  • November 16, 2014 at 7:48 pm

    This is absolutely great! I’ll buy a copy on tape or vinyl or mp3 anytime. As long as Ata Kak gets his percentage!
