We can't think of many artists that have had as distinctive and diverse a journey
as Asha, nor who have been involved in as many different genres of music as her.
A musical pioneer who forged a path through '60s psych, free- jazz, pop, rock,
disco, and more.
To mark this golden hour in her stellar career we have repressed her legendary
album, 'The Devil Is Loose', on gold vinyl. Maybe her most well-known record, the
1976 LP features the psychedelic disco-funk-classic 'Space Talk' , where Asha's
soaring vocals take listeners on a journey that mirrors her eclectic career.
Championed by a wide range of musical scenes and movements, over space and
time it has been commandeered as their own.
Casting a unique spell on its listeners, each track on the album showcases Asha's
majestic, celestial style and sumptuous vocal range. Backed by breathtaking
orchestral- infused, disco- enhanced instrumentation , it's cinematic and
captivating throughout. From the infectious funk of 'Flying Fish' , to the cosmic
transcendence of 'The Devil Is Loose ' and the choir- channelling 'Say Yes ', this
album is a true masterpiece.
At Mr Bongo we are thrilled to be releasing records by such an iconic, musical
maverick as Asha. She has blazed a trail so that others could follow. Whether you
are buying this album as a replacement for your worn-out original copy or it's the
frst time you've heard of Asha Puthli and you're just intrigued and drawn in by the
cover, we hope you enjoy this quintessential slice of Asha's world.
