I have been loving this mixtape for such a long time now, I am just wondering.. Is there a Vol. 1 as well? Or dare I dream even a Volume 3, 4, 5…?
Keep this up,
love

I downloaded a zip file of Vol. 1 from sendspace and could not download either. Today I went back on and noticed they have taken the download option off of sendspace and left a note saying they are trying to fix something…

So I am waiting to be able to download Vol. 1 as well!

WHO IS SIMON???? DOES ANYONE KNOW????

What… Great… Music!

yeah love this….love a hook up with Volume 1 if it can be tracked down…cant seem to find it although there are references to it!! ATFA are magic! Simon is one of the key players/producers from ATFA I presumed!!

Lovely selection. There is an error that I know of though:

Yatouloveras – UCAS Band de Sedhiou – Senegal is in fact:
Regret (Mome Boufigneuve) – UCAS Band de Sedhiou – Senegal
I have this record and so am sure of this.
