Here is the beauty of Roon:
If youāve got Qobuz check out their playlist: Funky Horns: the best brass sections. (under Playlists/Focus)
What jumped off of that one was Maceo Parkerās āPass the Peasā which has already been posted on this thread. Loved that album and started going through Maceo Parkerās Appearances (71). Those wind their way through a ton of great P-funk bands and James Brown, of course. But he also worked with diverse artists like 10,00 Maniacs, Prince, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In his Bio it discusses work with Keith Richards (also hyper-linked) which led to several great albums. Iām listening to his most recent now.
What a way to discover music.
The most soulful whistling Iāve ever heardā¦ amazing. So good, I had to laugh and shake my head.
Laughing because I tried to do it and failed so miserably.
Gorgeous production.
Soulful Jazz
I was really nervous during first ~30 secondsā¦ because this is a modern Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis classicā¦
But then the funk really kicked in and my foot started tapping away
He kept some of the key classic original elements but very much also put his own unique flavour on it.
Love it.
Donāt know why a 62 year old guy (me) should love Disclosure so much. My wife got in my car the other day and asked āIs this all you listen to?ā.
I love Settle. I donāt think there is any way you can twist that album into this thread, but I just tried.
Disclosure can (should) be enjoyed at any age Scott! Kudos.
Oh thatās easy - Soulful Electronic
Pretty sure Iāve posted a couple Settle tracks somewhere on this thread. One of my fav albums.
Thank you Mel for telling me about these guys.
You should also check this thread out for everything electronic
Then you will have the car for yourself
Iāve discovered som much new/old music with my fellow Rooners!
Will do Jan! Thank you.
Roon is magnificent. I found Disclosure via the āDubstepā tag on James Blake. Never heard of that genre.
Iāve always loved Everything But The Girl and was always looking for something to take their place (if that could be done). I was reading Tracey Thornās Bio and ran across Romy Croft of The XX. Love them!
Kudos to people like Sean who put so much effort into curating threads like this. Itās priceless.
Oh this is a classic I havenāt heard in a while! Thanks for the prompt.
I dunno about ācuratingā lol. Just sharing what Iām listening to, as I go along. Plenty of other people with so many great recommendations here too.
And yes, big up to @jaguoneās electronic thread! Iām always discovering gems over there.
We were in a restaurant in Opatija, Croatia (Valle Losca) for a long lunch a couple years ago. They played Barry Whiteās āCanāt Get Enough of Your Loveā continuously the whole time we were there. I asked the waiter āwhatās up with Barry White?ā. He simply said, āthe owner likes this songā.
The old ones endure for a reason.
