[James Baldwin]
[REFRAIN]
I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country.
These people have deluded themselves for so long they really don't think I'm human. I base this on their conduct, not on what they say, and this means that they have become in themselves moral monsters.
It doesn't matter any longer what you do to me: you can put me in jail, you can kill me. By the time I was 17 you'd done everything that you could do to me. The problem now is: how you gonna save yourselves?
How you gonna save yourselves?
[REFRAIN]
I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country.
There are days, one of them, when you wonder what your role is in this country and what your future is in it. How precisely are you going to reconcile yourself to your situation here, and how you're going to communicate that you are here?
The country has arrived at a place where it can no longer contain revolt. Human beings are not by nature non-violent, you know? You can only survive so many beatings, so much humiliation, so much despair, so many broken promises before something gives.
Before something gives.
[REFRAIN]
I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart…
[Alice Walker]
We are being killed by people who don't feel – if we get down to that, that is the problem.
[James Baldwin]
I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart…
[Alice Walker]
If you don't feel it you kill it because you think it doesn't feel either…
[REFRAIN]
I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country.
[Alice Walker]
So away with that, we don't want that.
[James Baldwin]
I'm aware that something terrible has happened, which is very hard to describe.

Fold Leeds, UK
Fold is a conscious music band from Leeds rooted in funk, jazz, psyche and hip hop.
Fold recommends:
Tummy Touch Meets Bastard Jazz
by Various Artists
Overall a brilliant collaborative record between artists on the Bastard Jazz & Tummy Touch labels. We've also got a remix on there under our old name Mujaji.

We Are All Counting On You, William
by Low in the Sky
Hailed as "the best Downtempo band you've never heard" Low In the Sky deliver a lush, bleepy masterpiece on this, my favourite of their outstanding and highly underrated repertoire.

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra
supported by 11 fans who also own “Something Gives (Single)”
Promises is a wild adventure of developing sounds of minimalist ambient and third stream jazz fusing together. That may sound pretentious, but trust me this is worth your time! Everyone plays so beautifully here and I’m very happy that this was Sanders’ last piece of work because he put so much into this swansong of a composition! Rest in power Pharoah Sanders

UNTITLED (Rise)
by SAULT
supported by 10 fans who also own “Something Gives (Single)”
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
