Notes
"In Cuba, the term nganga refers to a certain creation made with an iron cauldron into which several items (such as bones and sticks) are placed. It also refers to the spirit of the dead that resides there. In Palo, it refers to an iron cauldron used to imprison evil spirits using chains, padlocks, knives, etc., which can be used for black magic."

The Edward Humes book "Buried Secrets", about the Matamoros murder case and activities of "El Padrino de Matamoros" Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo, inspired the title. In Constanzo's macabre religious practice animal and even human sacrifice was permissible, and when the victims soul passes in fear and confusion it is captured in the Nganga and wedded to the sorcerers' will - he is then able to control and direct vengeful souls of the dead to his own needs; a savage and terrible theology.

The very latest from Ramleh's Anthony Di Franco, otherwise to be found at home anchoring Ramleh's music, “Weapon Design” presents eight devastating tracks of pure electronic mayhem. This is the second full length JFK LP following the release of the “NGANGA” album on Chondritic Sound in 2017. Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy, London. Limited edition of 300 black vinyl LPs in shrink-wrapped sleeves.

The very latest from Ramleh's Anthony Di Franco, whose long-running solo JFK project has been dedicated to the kind of concrete-mixed rhythmic pummel countless others would almost kill for since the cassette network culture of the 1980s. It's an immersive sound that, naturally, shares a little common ground with Ramleh yet emphasizes the monstrous chasms that can be drawn from a sturdy combo of bass-churn and galvanized beats. Whilst the labyrinthine textures beamed in from steelworks remain very much suggestive of a charred psychedelia twisted way beyond any stupid hippie dream, JFK's work remains hewn with a distinctive edge at once uncompromising and agile enough to pull you in without the slightest hint of a protest. Music perfect for the age always hinted at when younger by pessimistic sci-fi films that we sometimes appear to be living in... Eight devastating tracks mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy, London.
