A massively wonderful album from Dayton -- an album that has the group really getting their groove together -- still sticking a bit in the older funk mode from the past, but also bringing in some warmer, deeper touches to their music too! There's a solidness here that's undeniable -- a balance of rhythms and instrumentation that few other soul groups of the time were hitting -- topped by vocals that have a nice dose of jazz in the mix too, with the sort of sophistication you might expect to hear from some of Wayne Henderson's At Home productions. Production is nice and warm, never too cold or commercial -- and titles include the group's great cut "The Sound Of Music" -- not the theme from the Broadway show, but a great two-stepper that's instantly infectious -- plus "Caught In The Middle", "It Must Be Love", "Promise Me", and "Lookin Up".
