"Super J" is such a jam. Trippy lyrics, punchy piano fills, a sizzlin' synth solo and freaky talkboxin' (5 years before it was trademarked by Zapp, besides the 1970's talkbox output by Stevie Wonderland and Peter Frampton). Recently a 1976 live show... See full review

When i first listened to this album, "Marcella's Dream" directly caught my attention with the sphereful melody and arrangements. "Snowflake" is another composition which i enjoy for the mellow intro/outro, rhythmic flow and solos. The work-in-progess... See full review

The sonic sound is dynamic, especially hearing it on the 12" version with the wider vinyl grooves. Always great to hear George's falsetto voice, and Stanley's bass just blows. They toured during their first project, but i'm not sure if they performed... See full review

I once saw an lp pressing of this release at someone's home. It caught my attention instantly, because i used to hear Zapp tracks and side productions such as Shirley Murdock and Bad Bobby Glover in night clubs. But this one by the New Horizons was... See full review

The horn section which you can hear in "Loc it up" includes saxophonist Melvin Wells, who later went on to record, co-write and tour with funkateers Cameo for some years. After he had recorded with Cameo on their "She's Strange" album from 1984, the... 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 Sue Ann's recording sound different though. Especially at the intro and solo parts. I wonder if... 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

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

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

Solid and infectious uptempo synth-boogiefunk, with recognisable popping bassguitar plucks performed by the track's producer & composer John Williams (19). Similar bass sounds can be heard in various jams such as "What's Your Name" and "Stomp" on... See full review
