The Fabulous Faces - Disco **** 1977

Cane & Able ***** 1972

A fantastic bit of tripped out funk! Cane & Able were one of the many groups that came out of the collective surrounding the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band in the early 70s -- and like that group, Cane & Able draw on a wide range of influences to create a heavy funky sound. The album mixes the African influences used by the LARB with more of a hard soul vocal approach, with some cuts sounding a bit like material from Atlantic albums of the late 60s, but handled with more of a fuzzy edge. Includes a great funky reading of Wilson Pickett's "Don't Knock My Love", a cover of "Who's Gonna Take The Weight", and the long tripped-out groover "Girl You Move Me"!

Barbara mason - i am your woman, she is your wife - 1978

A well-done set from Barbara Mason -- one that's light years from her earlier soul work, and which takes her strongly into more mature territory! The approach is a bit Philly disco, a bit mellower soul -- and the more laidback cuts actually work the best -- bubbling along like a gentler take on the Miami sounds at TK Records -- produced by Weldon McDougal with some slight deeper soul touches at times. Barbara really shines on these mellow steppers -- the great "It Was You Boy", "More Of You", "Darling Come Back Home", and the excellent title cut "I Am Your Woman, She Is Your Wife", Barbara's latest entry into the Barbara/Shirley answer song cycle. Other tracks include "Take Me Tonight", "So Good", and "Joy In My Mind".

RICHARD MOORE * Sensations ** 1974

This time we're visiting the vaults of United Artists France for a particularly weird adult film score. The music is a mix of prog rock, funk, and strange French 70s pop, with a small funk group backing. Very strange indeed. Plenty of good beats and breaks, some forgettable rude vocal numbers, and a wicked heavy prog-funk instrumental in 'New Sensations'. One for the beat-heads and oddball sounds fans, but you're unlikely to find it...

Track listing:

New Sensations
Good Dirty And Hard To Beat
Turn Me On
Julio's Joint
Soft And Sensual
