Ike Noble - Lonely People
posted a review of Ike Noble - Lonely People. 4 days ago
A solid soul suite. "Lonely People" opens this album in a mellow mood with Noble's intro talk, warm Fender Rhodes and more. Then after a break, the song changes it's tune to an uptempo groove. A pleasant surprise to hear. Previously i heard Ike's 45... See full review

The melody and chords of "Make It Through The Storm" have indeed the same song structure as Prince's version. But i noticed that the keyboards on this version sound different though. Especially at the intro and solo parts. I wonder if Sylverster Levay... See full review

I previously heard some tracks from this release and just have listened again to the full album, including early ballads and grooves by the family. In my opinion, the tracks "What's Your Name" and "Queen Of My Heart" have started to build the... See full review

posted a review of Billy Cobham - B.C.. 11 months ago
Another great At Home production by the late Crusaders-trombonist Wayne Henderson. I would like to review 4 of my favorite rotations a bit:

B.C. opens with "Oh Mendocino". A sphereful intro of asian gongs and bells are introduced when Cobham hits it... See full review

Some extra and infectious bass lix, pops, slaps and walks from Thriller Miller can also be heard on "Perfect Guy", "My Best Friend's Girlfriend" and during the brief bass-ic intro, just before "Superspy" hits the vinyl grooves. As on his previous and... See full review

Good point, and i'm also wondering if a possible test pressing or an acetate disc might have a better sonic sound.

Another track which i dig from this project is "I'll Be Gone". Especially towards the end, with audio of leaving footsteps and a... See full review

Blazing album opener with dazzling & sizzling synths on “Checkin’ Out”. Would have been awesome if an extended mix from that jam was released as a single. Bop & freak on.

Tru dat. Brian Morgan and Shelly Scruggs are indeed synthboogie wizards with this party jam. During the instrumental break, some dudes are on a night out and jive about jazzy females & stuff, which is a fun skit. I also dig Morgan’s track... See full review

Hey A-MadMat71, this is a live-recorded version from their concert album Cameo - Nasty in 1996. A radio edit and the original album mix from that stage show in Atlanta.

Cool grooves on both sides. “Crush” sounds to me like a Cameo-inspired track. Especially the lead singer snarls with his voice some “ows” and other ad libs in the tradition of Larry Blackmon, Larry Dodson from the Bar-Kays and [a=Leroy... See full review

Instru? Never ever was an instrumental version of this track until recently.

I'm guessing that Heinsenberg possibly meant the "instrumental performers" on this release?
