A cooker from this Chicago living legend – and proof that the passage of time hasn't dimmed the talents of Eddie Campbell at all! Eddie's firmly in the lead on vocals and guitar – plus a bit of harmonica, too – and the setting is mostly stripped-down, with the kind of no-nonsense contemporary blues production you'd expect from Delmark – almost a back-to-basics mode that really fits the music. Lurrie Bell guests on a few tracks – and titles include "Brownout", "I Do", "Call My Mama", "I Don't Understand This Woman", "Boomerang", "Starlight", "All My Life", "Skin Tight", and "My Friend".

A wonderful project from Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma, Ocote Sound System and Brownout – joined by Argentinean singer Natalia Clavier and Brazil's Tita Lima – a blending of hazy funk and psych and soul tinged groovers with Latin and Brazilian atmosphere! There's a laidback, head-nodding groove going on throughout, with piano, farfisa, electric harpsichord, heavy drums, occasional string and laidback horn arrangements. Great stuff with works on a number of levels, but keeps a solid sound throughout. A real win for Ubiquity! Includes "Jardim", "O Elefante" and "Mundo Pequeno" all featuring Tita Lima, "Its Not Too Late", "Esclavo Y Amo", "Down Under" and "Dudar" all featuring Natalia Clavier, "Engines In Solitude", "Electric Travels", "Crescent Sun" and "The Open Veins".

Dreamy and cinematic Latin psychedelia from Echocentrics – a project of Adrian Quesada, who has been a part of some pretty great leftfield funky combos to date – including Ocote Soul Sounds, Brownout and Grupo Fantasma! "Esclavo Y Amo" is a cover of a Peruvian ballad with raw drums and sweet female vocals. "Electric Travels" starts with a hazy, noirish before some harder hitting drums and atmospherics.
