Disc 13 - Compass vol. 1

"Compass" collects (mostly) non-rock based music from areas around the world outside of North-America and Europe (though some of these artists may have been based and recording in European countries at the time). The compass helped us find this music (yes, we could have called it "map"), and it also allows us to avoid a slightly more controversial term (which we shall not mention here). Enjoy!
