Funkways Series 4: The L.B.'s - Of August Countenance 7" [ETHIO-JAZZ / DUB] Wax Thématique #18

  The L.B.'S - Of August Countenance  The L.B.'S - Gazing Lovingly Feat. Rezin Tooth "Sounds like a joint by Ethio-jazz luminary Mulatu Astatke produced by pioneering '60s producer Joe Meek. The slinky rhythm, woozy horns, Jacques Willis's spine-tingling vibraphone motif, and Tomer Zuk's serpentine organ solo cohere into a graceful journey to enchantment. Flipside "Gazing Lovingly" is suffused in a sublime nocturnal glow reminiscent of Faze-O's "Riding High" while strutting in slow-motion to a funky drummer (Grant Schroff) who has ice in his veins." -Dave Segal via The Stranger"Psychedelic lo-fi vein distinctive Ethio-jazz-funk!..a blissed-out affair featuring synth washes and has its bottom end lovingly teased (ooh, matron!)" -Monkeyboxing.com "Both sides sound absolutely amazing, a must have for the crates, it's records like these that will surely be future digs of tomorrow" -DJ Skeme Richards WXTM-018 Part 4 of the Funkways Series  Written by Joel Ricci Mastered by Doug Krebs P
