REMINISCE FOR A SPELL OR SHALL I SAY THINK BACK

JAZZ - SOUL - FUNK - OBSCURE



I read that music lives in and unfolds in time. Welcome to the music of my mind. Music that I think needs to be heard. Music that warms my soul.

Ohio Players - Ecstacy


Junie Morrison.  Nuff said.  Third album by Dayton Ohio's finest on Westbound.   Third in the Trilogy (1973 Westbound  - I don't count Climax as part of the Trilogy) this is the album right before the commercial explosion....and right before Junie leaves the band.  Strong points but not the strongest.  But the music is straight forward.  Darker to me. I always thought Funky Worm was absurd - this release was the logical path.

Tracklist
Ecstasy
You And Me
Not So Sad And lonely
(I wanna Know) Do You Feel It?
Black Cat
Food Stamps Y’All
Spinning
Sleep Talk
Silly Billy
Short Change

Sleep Talk combines layers of organ, electric piano, bass and guitar....wah wah.....horn blasts and striking chords. You got me talking in my sleep baby...into my dreams you softly creep. Slinky, solid, sweaty, FUNK. You love is higher than the sky. Umm.
