ORGONE Vinilo y CD

Review: LA's Orgone crew are specialists in smooth, seductive soul music, and you could say that the band is waving the flag very high in the air for the continuation and health of the genre. It was their original material on Ubiquity back in the early 2000's that gave them their fame, but these two new nuggets on Colemine are pretty on-point in terms of dancefloor destruction: "Do What You Came Here To Do" is a rough and twisted sex bomb that sounds like it was made in '76 - a tune that would make a great addition to a Quentin Tarantino flick - and the "Ronin" instrumental is simply a great, devastating piece of instrumentation for you to get DOWN to.

Review: "I Get Lifted" is a version of the track Harry Wayne Casey (KC) and Richard Finch (later known in life as KC and the Sunshine Band) produced for George McCrae. Los Angeles vocalist Fanny Franklin shines on vocals, riding an irresistible cosmic-flavoured tune that settles nicely somewhere between live disco and spacey soul. Franklin has appeared on recordings by Dakah and sang alongside Macy Gray. She is the de-facto Orgone vocalist to appear on tours and as the main vocalist on the upcoming album. On the flip is an instrumental inspired as much by Roy Ayers as Fela Kuti. "It's What You Do" will appeal to fans of Orgone's previous recordings like "Hambone" and "Funky Nassau".
