The following tune, "Adawe Boogie", is also HEAVY SHIT, maybe a bit broodier but neatly ready for non-stop dancefloor action too. You'll have to be ready cos' you've been warned. It's so irresistible, I can't wait for the band to play it at their next date at New Morning this autumn. Another one the usual crowd will love for sure! The instrumental "Under Burning Skies" closes the first side on a jazzier tip.ī-side opens with the monsterful "Holla Holla", one of those uptempo rides that'll bring madness to the clubs the band will soon play in.
I'm really more into the syncopated tropical funk of "Oublier Pour Un Jour", which feels more like classic Souljazz Orchestra in its structure and vibe. Quite the delicious jam… 'Is Yeelyel', a cover of Somalian Dur-Dur Band, brings some 80s synths to the game, it's rather cool but maybe not that original. Think pure electro-funk Afrika Bambaata (they even used the same pattern as on 'Planet Rock') distilled with Afro horns. Then comes 'Lufunki', the tune previously revealed by the band on Soundcloud, announcing the appearance of drum machines in the new LP. The opening song, 'Dog Eat Dog', with its funky caribbean disco beat and its sing-along chorus it gonna be one of those crowd-pleasers for sure. Alas, once back home with the precious treasure, I discovered my boom blaster's tape player was dead with a tape stuck inside!! A month or so passed, filled with frustration, until today, and the discovery of a perfectly working CD/Tape player at my dear mother's place! I put the tape frantically into the player, hit play… and the grooves started filling the place, with this irresistible need to dance that comes with most SJO tunes, of course. The Souljazz Orchestra will be back with a new album next month, to be released on CD, vinyl… and a limited edition tape which I had the chance to get my hands on earlier this summer.
