This compilation introduces a new direction for Now-Again Records
and its owner, Stones Throw Records GM, A&R and producer Egon.
With the same detailed, no-stone-unturned approach he used for
Deep Funk (The Funky 16 Corners, Cold Heat), he tackles
beat-heavy global psychedelia with Forge Your Own Chains.
“Those of us birthed into record collecting by the Hip Hop midwife
revered Jimi Hendrix as well as James Brown. We searched for
albums by Mulatu Astatke and Power of Zeus with the same fervor,”
Egon writes in his introduction to the comp.
Forge Your Own Chains showcases music from all corners of the
world: Colombia, Nigeria, Sweden, South Korea, Thailand and Iran.
The focus – in keeping with Now-Again’s tradition – is on melody,
driving rhythms and accessibility. Not one song is included on this
compilation because it is from a “rare” album. Certainly, many of
these songs do spring from albums that exchange hands for many
thousands of dollars and many of these songs have never seen
reissue. But these songs are all beautiful in their own right and work
to form a coherent album.
Psychedelic records, long the mainstay of older, grizzled collectors
and seemingly quaint, are, in the hands of Egon and those of his
generation, giving up new ghosts. And, with comps like Forge Your
Own Chains, inspiring new investigations into our not so distant (and
still very much alive) musical past.

Deluxe package including Digipak with
40-page full color booklet containing detailed
liner notes and annotation by Egon, rare
photos and other ephemera
