I'm stunned. I really can't believe anyone doesn't love this record. When I played it for my friend Ben, who doesn't really pay attention to anything electronic and is generally uninterested in it, I had to rip the headphones off his head. When I played it out a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends who fiercely hates vocals in house was cheering me on. It's useless for me to reiterate Tom (Andy ;)'s points, b/c I think he's said it all perfectly, but Dave, please give this a listen, b/c I wouldn't characterize anything about it as jazzy in anything more than the vaguest sense. It is pure funk. The keys that come in 1/2-way through are gorgeous. Perhaps they're simple, but they are as effective as anything Moodymann has ever done on his own and then some. The precise moment that they enter confirms the perfect arrangement of this record. I have heard it at least 50 times now, and every time that his keys come in I get a tingle in my spine. It does it for me in every way. J.T., we're really butting heads recently, aren't we. ;) Oh, and his live set was bar-none the best moment of the festival for me. Nothing else was even close - other than maybe Traxx @ Cannonball.
