david holmes - come get it i got it (introducing the free association)
first release on 13 amp (holmes own imprint), and what a great start. a 50 minute mix of old school funk, r-n-b (proper 60's style not the new variation), and soul mixed up with love and a high degree of attention to detail. to add a new twist david holmes put together a studio band to create short pieces of music/atmosphere/dialogue to add more flow and possibily a structure, storyline which i've yet to figure out.
from these sessions they decided that the vibe was so strong that a lp proper was recorded and now the band tour.
in the meantime though i seriously recommend if you see this in the racks then pick it up as 13 amp have had financial difficulties which meant that the label had to search for new backing. fortunately for us listeners these problems are being resolved - but my sources tell me that this mix is not to be rereleased and therefore will become more difficult to find. and trust me .. for anyone who wants a fine-n-funky slice of grooves then you simply cannot complain with some of the selections added to the mix.
highly enjoyable. and is guaranteed to move your ass.
