Inarguably one of the coolest people in music, Asha Puthli has seen, done, and often started it all. Hailed by AllMusic for its "snakey, spaced-out soul and pre-mainstream disco", Puthli's second album The Devil Is Loose has been rightly revived and revered in recent years. We can't think of a more apt way to celebrate the existence of this 1976 gem than with a limited edition, gold vinyl reissue from the folks at Mr Bongo! - Flying Out
Asha Puthli's classic album - The Devil Is Loose will be reissued on Gold vinyl & will be a pressing of 1000 worldwide, this limited edition is released to celebrate Asha's return to the stage.
Featuring the iconic psychedelic disco-funk of Space Talk the infectious Flying Fish and the cosmic transcendence of The Devil Is Loose.
Making her return to the stage after 44 years, with tour dates across the US, Australia and Europe, as well as iconic performances at Glastonbury and We Out Here, Asha Puthli’s lifelong career as an inspirational trailblazer has taken on a magical new chapter. 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.
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-channeling 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 first 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.
