Miche has delved deep again to uncover 15 underground obscure soulful gems from some of our music's lesser known artists. Billy Boomer recorded one single for the Chicago Blast label in 1982 and both sides are featured here, the good time party track 'I Like what She's Doing' and the more laid back groover 'You Can't Hide'. P.J.City 'Straight Forward' and Mixed Generation Enterprize 'Take To The Sky' are hard hitting brassy disco funk tracks. Maxwell 'Realize' is an excellent upper mid tempo track in the style of Mighty Ryeders. Cecil Lyde 'I'll Make It On My Own' and Alice...

Kelly Finnigan of the Monophonics has produced a really good retro harmony soul album by the Sextones 'Love Can't Be Borrowed'. This album sounds and feels like a really authentic late 60s to mid 70s group soul record. There are beat ballads like 'Daydreaming' , 'Better Late Than Never' and 'Getaway Driver' alongside 2 stepper 'This Could Last Forever' and the horn backed 'Trouble On My Mind' . The uptempo dancer 'Without You' and mid tempo funky soul groover 'The Other Side' are likely to get some dancefloor action. There are also a couple of nice mid tempo floaters 'Your...
Australian Spiritual Jazz band Menagerie make their forth album ‘Shores Of Infinity’ their third on the Freestyle label. ‘Shores Of Infinity’ is a very energetic opener with heavy drums and a spiritual approach. ‘Kingdom’ is a stand out track which has a classic Roy Ayers rare groove feel to it, with off key vocals and vibes over a wicked bass line and unusual keyboard riffs that may have been influenced by Leon Thomas ‘Shade Your Mind to Die’. ‘Earthrise’ is a soprano sax led Jazz dancer featuring Phil Noy, whilst ’Arrival’ is more mid tempo fusion highlighting Lance Ferguson’s guitar...

This 1975/6 album founded and gave the P-Funk genre its name, featuring George Clinton, Bootsy and co at their most creative and sapced out funky.Supported by Bernie Worrell on surreal keyboards, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Michael and Randy Brecker and Joe Farrell on horny horns, Bootsy’s striding bass with background vocals by Soulsters Inc Taka Khan (boom), Debra Wright and Sidney Barnes, the complete sound was unprecedented and fantastic.
