Ok so before there was Trini football interest on my part there was this mixtape by the Avalanches that first introduced me to Soca and Calypso. I'm a massive fan of The Avalanches (I think "Since I left You" is the best album ever made) and they did a mixtape of Soca/Calypso Music (along with some more Western music) that's available for free here;

I made a stab at listing all the sample tracks on facebook here;

They sample Sparrow a couple times, Denise Belfon as well, so there's a couple you might recognise in there (Love African Style anyone :p).
Just in case anyone else could get as much enjoyment from it as me.
