You do it via the LRC (Listener Review Channel) link. Neil

Will you try to upload some better songs? I hear potential, but I can't say that I like this song. Is the voice always the same? All I can picture now is Julia Child...

Not his best song. I've always thought his vocals sounded strained on this one. I gave it a pity 10, just because his other work is a consistent 20. Please don't let this song be your only exposure to Geoffrey Oryema. Get 2 albums: Exile and Beat the Border. You will thank me, I promise. His song, The River, is programmed into my alarm clock and wakes me every morning. Complete magic.

Baroque hip-hop? Rock mandolin? Not sure it's grabbing me...

This is an incredible album. Has some strong French pop elements, which may explain whjy certain Americans might not like it. One of the best African pop albums I've heard.

I heard a very old recording of the last living castrato, who died back in the 30's, I think. It was a very strange sounding voice.

Gawd, this sounds like something from the Alan Parsons Project! I dislike this intensely.

Interesting. Aptly titled. Sounds medieval. I\'ll have to hear it a few more times to decide if I like this one. :D

I love this. The combination of sounds and effect is wonderful. I wonder if we realize how lucky we are to have RP. Keep up the great work Rebecca and Bill.

Very interesting indeed. Never heard of Oryema. Is he an ex-pat African musician ? The mbira gives a nice Medieval ambiance which I would never have expected against this type of vocal.

\"Midieval Dream\" sounds like a Spinal Tap song. This really does nothing for me, but who am I. I\'m sure someone enjoys this.

Sort of like listening to coffee in a perculator there at the start

I\'ve been in love with Oryema\'s music for years. I can\'t get enough, and I am so thankful for RP for playing it here.
