Review: Funky, jazzy instrumental vibes with a hint of Latino influence are what we get from Timewarp Greece this time out. Soupasoul's remix (for such it is) comes in two parts, a nod to the days when that's how longer tracks were served up on vinyl. Part 1 foregrounds the muted trumpet part that serves as a lead line, underpinned by a resolutely funky b-line and augmented by a nagging keyboard riff. Part 2 opens with an extended percussive break, then revisits all the same parts but in a dubbier style, with the parping trumpet only really making an appearance towards the end.
Review: Funky Destination have been praising funky grooves since time immemorial (well, 2008 at least!) and they've usually been doing it for Athens imprint Timewarp. No change then for this new album, nor with the usual high quality either. After the almost Air-like mellow vibes of "Journey (intro)" things quickly step up a gear for the 70s blaxploitation style workouts of "The Inside Man" and "Such A Good Feeling" (a cover, of sorts, of Always There by Incognito). Elsewhere we encounter the elasticated noodling of the title track and the live-sounding "Gonna Roll You Over" and even Asian disco on "Hollywood-Jollywood".
