Now Again/Stones Throw just released a compilation of essential “beat-heavy global psychedelia” from the late ’60s/early ’70s, entitled Forge Your Own Chains. One standout jam is the fuzzed out afro-funk of the Strangers‘ “Two To Make a Pair.” Now Again calls the track “a winning example of the sound that leapt out of East Nigeria after the January 1970 armistice in the Nigerian Civil War.”
