BEST CD OF 2008 SO FAR
I can't get enough of this fantastic album of uplifting soul/disco/jazz-funk tunes that combine 70's and early 80's influences with a contemporary sound and intelligent lyrics. Vocals are shared between Leroy Burgess, Taka Boom, Pete Simpson, Dianne Charlamaine and Yolanda Wynns. The musicianship is outstanding with the likes to Tony Remy (guitar), Julian Crampton (bass), Michele Chiavarini (keys) and Jim Knight (sax) being given space to do what they do best.
Highlights are the wonderful Ashford & Simpson penned "Rough Times", Philly style, anthemic 'Our Lives Are Shaped', ultra catchy, feel good, Earth Wind and Fire type 'Sitting On Top Of The World', Motown-ish, stomping 'Days Gone By' and the brilliant rousing "We can live forever". 80's boogie style is represented by 'Survivin', 'Fashion' and 'Put A Lyric In it' (which could have been recorded on prelude circa 79-80). While the 4 Hero meets Candido 'Journey To The Sun' and broken beat 'Turn It Out' also score well. There's some good instrumentals 'Dusk', 'Monterey' and the great Stanley Clarke ish 'Free Bass'. While and the 2 step title track sounds like something that would have been a big revival track in the mid 80s. Best of all though is the menacing Norman Whitfield influenced 'Man Of War', which has a pop at the current US president.
From a consistency point of view this is the best soul/funk/disco album of recent times.
I have no soles left
Joey Negro and the band do it again. Lush grooves all the way from start to end, a sheer toe tapping experience.
This is the sort of cool grooves you hear at decent bars and clubs and makes you wonder 'Where do they get those grooves from?' Well wonder now more, it's yours!
The only downside is that as it's the bands own work, some of the rifts and melodies are simliar, if not identical in places, however when there this good you really don't care.
brilliant
this is a great album best of 2008.even though the two previous albums are six star material , what a fantastic band non stop foot tapping .
