This article is from 2012. It's definitely exciting that the Lomax archive is online — but it could be worth updating the title.

On another note, if you're interested in Lomax you might also be interested in Sublime Frequencies [1], Awesome Tapes from Africa [2] or the Nonesuch Explorer Series. Both are mostly focussed on music outside the US, but they all seem to capture something similar to what Lomax was after.

Jeez, I can't believe I missed that it's from 2012 - thanks for pointing that out. A friend sent me the link this morning and I just assumed it was recent. As it happens I was just reading an article about this type of time-warp effect (in this case, Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe's 2013 death getting circulated on social media last week like it had just happened):

Thanks for sharing sublimefrequencies.com and awesometapes.com! What a great discovery. I love the more obscure, non-mainstream music from around.
