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
This blog is absolutely fantastic. Thanks a million for this awesome music.
I’ve listened to this hundreds of times now! FANTASTIC!
I fell in love with this mixtape. Such great music!
Thank you!
Just downloading this…big fan. Just realised I missed an ATFA gig in Auckland this weekend! Dang!! Mucho gracias for download. deep bow..A
I’m having problem downloading Vol.1 on sendspace…please help. This one is too excellent!
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.
Hiya, any chance you could fix the download link please? I’d love to be able to hear this mixtape. Thank you.
