Album Of The Day | With Love Volume 2 Compiled By Miche
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...

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...
Album Of The Day | Menagerie – The Shores Of Infinity (Freestyle CD/LP)
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...
