Chocolate Star EP II

CD (Item 485546) Chocolate Star, 2009 — Condition: New Copy

A great batch of grooves from the enigmatic Gary Davis! It's hard to say what's on here, given the packaging – which has the same homemade quality as other Gary Davis/Chocolate Star releases – but that's also part of the fun of the record! The set's not really an EP – as it's almost as long as most soul/funk albums from the 70s – and it feels as if it's made out of older Gary Davis grooves, remixed with some slight new elements contributed by guest stars who include Greg Wilson, James Pants, and others! There's a messed-up feel to much of the music – muddy funk, electrified beats, and more – almost a Stones Throw take on P&P-styled grooves, with really wonderful results. Titles include "Mzuri Sana (James Pants mix)", "The Pop 2009 (Mr Chinn/Space Division mix)", "Super Ron (Professor-Mr Chinn Groove)", "Sticky Situation (James Pants with The Professor)", "Got To Get Your Love (Gary Davis' electronic mix)", and "One Life Time To Live (Greg Wilson mix)".  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
