Ohio-based Colemine Records is quickly becoming my favorite record label. They describe their label as “steeped in traditional R&B, but covering a wide range of soulful music including funk, soul, R&B, latin, afro reggae, rare groove, soul jazz, and more!” I’m loving everything I hear from them.

Evelyn "Champagne" King - Love Come Down


When guest reviewer Green Gartside of Scritti Politti reviewed this record in the NME back in 1982 he was very impressed with Evelyn's voice and the rubbery bass Moog arrangement of this and many other Solar-style records that were out that week.

So much so, that when his follow up album Cupid & Psyche 85 came out a couple of years later I wasn't surprised to discover he'd hired synth-funk wizard David Gamson to recreate the sound. (Pretty successfully, in my opinion)

Junior Giscombe - Mama Used To Say


This unfortunately-surnamed ex-Linx backing singer had a sizeable hit with this number and made us Brits think it was possible for someone from here to take a crack at the international market

David Gamson - Sugar, Sugar


More Scritti-adjacent pop with this record that landed Gamson a job. Everyone else walked out on Green for selling out so its a good thing he's something of a one-man band

 

[UKMikey]

Linx

I could swear I've posted "Intuition" on this thread already but I can't find it so here it is again. Sorry guys.


Like Junior's track above, this is another childhood remembrance song in the vein of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish"

 

[UKMikey]

Stories - Brother Louie

 

[Sprite]

GT Planets very own @Magdelayna and his new track.

 

[UKMikey]

Wayne Smith - Under Mi Sleng Teng


This hugely influential record kicked off the "digital" age in reggae whereby producer Lloyd "King Jammy" James replaced most of the band with a Casio MT-40 home keyboard. 500 cover versions later nearly everyone was following suit

 

[UKMikey]

Yes - Aurora


From their upcoming twenty-fourth album of the same name. This Jon Davison guy sounds the part and even has a similar name to Anderson's

Harry Styles- Golden, Cinema and Late Night Talking

T-Square - Sister Marian. The track whose break inspired Koji Kondo to write the legendary Super Mario Bros. level 1-1 tune "Ground BGM" (1' 03")

 

[TB]

Koji Kondo

I'm glad you posted that name as it reminded me to check if there were FINALLY any new episodes of The Soundtrack Show. Looks like I have nine to catch up on.

Thats very cool. I never knew there was a pre-existing song that inspired that bit of game music.

When you're up against a one-week deadline, you have to take your inspiration wherever you can find it.

Gene - Olympian. Another track I was sure I'd posted before on this thread but apparently didn't.

 

[MIE1992]

 

[UKMikey]

Yes, I did have a Nokia phone in the mid-nineties.

[EDIT] (I might try Mamouna as well, but I'm on the fence)

[EDIT EDIT] I'm off the fence now and also picked up Roxy's Manifesto and Flesh + Blood, the full length "Jealous Guy" single from the box set and the disco version of "Angel Eyes".

 

[Chris30]

A favorite of mine from the "King Of Pop".

Happy Sunday guys.
