Brian Bennett – Voyage (A Journey Into Discoid Funk)

heyyy you can write me if you're into this one :)

This is a fantastic album !!!!! The pressing is amazing feel like I'm on a spaceship truly a jazz funk fusion masterpiece

The 2021 CD reissue is a real treat. It's fascinating to hear early working versions of these evocative tracks. This was essentially the point of sale for me, but I also would have liked to have owned crisp digital versions of the original cuts remastered directly from the original studio master tapes. Unfortunately, what sounds like surface noise suggests that CD 1 is in fact remastered from a vinyl rip. A shame, but not the end of the world. Cracking release otherwise :)

Excellent sound. Punchy synths, pristine clear cut. A truly superb pressing.

Nice job here from RGR; completely noise free and nicely mastered. Great listen at a low price.

We need more space funk in our world...the synths here are godly! Absolutely fantastic album & high quality pressing!

Wow, this is absolutely fantastic. Futuristic synth space funk with some slight disco tinges. Somewhat comparable to Giorgio Moroder in moments or even Goblin with its progressiveness, but definitely it’s own thing. Sound quality is SUPERB. My speakers are bumping with delight. Deep lows with punchy kick and clear highs. All the layers of synth cut through real nice. Not sure what the first press sounds like, but this is shaking my walls. Incredible job on this release. As others mentioned here, I also bought this on a whim. Not only the best thing I bought for RSD 2022, but best thing I’ve bought in awhile!

Quality of this new pressing is pretty spectacular on my setup. Sounds incredible. Such a huge upgrade over the bootleg CD-R I had nearly worn out after 20 years of regular enjoyment. A welcome addition to my LP collection and my personal favorite 'record store day' release of 2022.

The blue marbling looks great on my copy but the record was a bit warped. Sonically this record is amazing and worth a listen. Opening the gatefold reveals art of what looks to be a maze, but I wish they would have put something to read about the record at least. Seems like wasted space and this didn't need a gatefold.

This was my must have RSD22 release alongside The Damned's 'Strawberries'. Visually and sonically its a sensational pressing of a hidden gem of an album. Worth it alone just for the awesomeness that is 'Solstice'.
