Soundway Records now collects the best of Gyan�s work as a frontman and solo artist, featuring an array of electrifying disco grooves that still sound contemporary (and in some cases futuristic) decades after their initial release. Tip!Hailed as Africa's answer to Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist Kiki Gyan was a musical wunderkind who by 1975 had risen from the lowly status of high school dropout to being ranked eighth in a poll of the greatest keyboardists in the world (occupying the rarefied air of the top ten with heavyweights like Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, and Stevie Wonder) as well as becoming an in-demand session player in the top recording studios of London - all before his twenty-first birthday.

A:Humanoid underground dweller Trolli brings awaited filth and crunch.Heavy this one, but also with melodic atmospheres from the north of Jæren.A muddy-acid-grind-folklore-trip with a phrygian touch.Behold the grounds of force.B:Rolf Einars Datatrips gives playful hardware voyage.Soft fm synth pads, slow bubbly bassline, sharp acid and depthy snares.Also with a hang to old computer games.Roll the 303, all hail general midi.
