It's a sad feeling stumbling into a record you immediately fall in love with and finding out the band is no more. I will always cherish this album, the hypnotic rhythms, the really interesting electroacoustic tones and the excellent soundscapes. Truly great, timeless work.
I have my problems with Spotify for a variety of reasons but sometimes it can be really cool, like when it lets me stumble into records like this one.
It's very difficult to tell if these funk tracks have been recorded in the 1970s or just last year, maybe the mix is a little too crisp in the high end and there's not much tape hiss or vinyl crackle coming up from the speakers but everything else is absolutely on point for that particular period.
Guitar tones and licks are absolute standout here, great collection of tracks.
Some of my favorite sounding tracks ever committed to tape. Production wise this is probably my personal best sounding album of the last few years, definitely one to reference when recording and mixing. Vintage warm tones to die for, bass, drums, guitars and keys, all expertly played and recorded.
A record so good that made me go and check out all the music of the featured artists as well, Parthenope, Enny, Rosie Lowe, all great stuff.
Opening track Summer Breeze is a personal standout.
