"The UK has a rich legacy in an unlikely tradition,Soul Music.Since the halycon days of northern soul,England has produced bands and performers who have kept true to the spirit of the music and at the same time taken it into fresh new horizons. Heartwave(Rod Temperton),Hot Chocolate,Soul 2 Soul(Nelly Hooper),Massive Attack,Goldie,Brand New Heavies,Omar,Jamiriquai and Tricky are but a few examples of the deepness of the UK groove. Crazy Penis continues this with vibrance and life.This album stands as a stunning example of a harmonious balance between inventive sampling and programming with live musicianship.The result is music that captures the best of 70s era soul/funk/disco/jazz fusion and interpolates it with contemporary house and breaks. The vibe is further enhanced by a psychedelic warmth that infuses a genuinly positive energy
that,if you "get it" this music will elevate you emotionally and spirtually.Its music like this that keeps my faith in humanity alive."
