The Earth Disciples, "Getaway Train" LP has been a constant in my headphones for a few weeks now. Ranging from smoothed out, warm 70's soul - to jazzy, funked out madness (sometimes even in the same song). Finding an album that can both transport you to a different place, and make you want to jump out of your seat and dance like no one's around is a true gem today.
Stand out tracks : Spirit of the Bells, La Bahemia, Getaway Train, Native Planet.
Cloud One, "Atmosphere Strut" LP is a bit harder to describe. In fact, I don't think I can really give a definitive stance on this one. The synth tone on this album really something else, and takes some otherwise good-to-excellent soul inspired cuts, to levels I've never heard. The downfall to this album is how dancey and almost disco influenced it is. It works well on some songs, especially where the piano seems to be leading, but overall kills most of the album for me. With that said, 3 out of the 6 songs on here have been in steady rotation. Take that however you want.
Stand out tracks : Dust to Dust, Spaced Out.
Jean Plum, "Back to You" single is one of those pieces of music that stops you dead in your tracks, makes your heart hurt, and your mind wander deep into nostalgia. A piece of music that you feel, more than hear. Nothing else needs to be said.
Stand out tracks : Back to You.
