One of my favourite albums of last year. Just a superb listen from start to finish. No tracks to skip.
Talented young band.

Wow. 3 Salaam Remi remixes of Marvin Gaye tracks dropped yesterday.
Amazing work (as usual) by Salaam.
Marvinās voice on the opening of this gave me goosebumps. Crank it loud.

If I would compile a best of list this would definitely be there. Such a great, classic song, what else can you expect when Mr White was involved.

This is an insane body of work in a ~4 year period (1972-1976)ā¦ 
The man is not humanā¦
I would need to think really hard to find 5 classic albums release in a ~4 year window by any other artist.
Sticking to the genre of this thread Iām not sure there is any?
Anyway back to ānow playingāā¦

Hmmm. If the bar is āSuper Humanā youād need to think about James Brown.
He was a music-makinā machine.
But yeahā¦

The Sade classic with the incredible Lalah on vocals and Robert Glasper band.
An incredible group of talent on one track here. First class production, as expected.
Given the push to release albums began to slow way down in the 70s, I am not sure that there are many that can even qualify time-wise (let alone quality) post 1976.

Two questions Sean:
-
How are you finding these new single track releases? Is it in Tidal (or Qobuz)? Any filters?
-
Roonās search function sucks. If I type in (My Last Chance) it isnāt one of the selections. I had this problem yesterday with another track. If you know exactly where it is, you can find it. But usually it looks more like an Easter Egg hunt. Is this one in Roon? (Aaargh! found it listed as an album with two songs)
Hi @grossmsj ,
This is one of the things about Roon that bugs me - first world problem of course and this is not a complaintā¦ just feedbackā¦ @joel
See here for similar issue I raised in the past: Can't search for a remix
I use the Tidal app to discover new releases each week.
I āfollowā artists in Tidal and in the Tidal app there are āsuggested new tracksā and āsuggested new albumsā, based on artists you follow and your listening. So the Tidal app tells me when my followed artists release new tracks or albums.
So I got notified of the Marvin Gaye album release in the Tidal app AND the Tidal app shows the full proper track title, making the Salaam Remi remixes very easy to spotā¦ and search forā¦
I really hope Roon can close the gap with the Tidal appā¦ even with individual track credits, see below for examples:
Thank you very much @dabassgoesboomboom! I didnāt know about any these Tidal capabilities. Iāve always used it as a āfeederā for Roon. My bad.
Also, many thanks to you and @jaguone for the great music suggestions. Iāve really enjoyed the perspective from the two threads you guys are tending.
Cheers,
Scott

No problem at all. The Tidal app isnāt what it was 3 years ago when I joined Roonā¦ theyāve improved quite a bitā¦ especially the last year I noticed. Roon actually has a couple of key areas to catchup on but Iām sure they will.
Another example below of Roon lacking behind the free Tidal app for individual track credits as I listen now to this classic album. I could go on forever with examples but the Roon Team are already aware so Iām sure they have plans to improve this.
I should try and be helpful so that you can actually hear this beautiful track through Roon!
The Salaam Remi remix of My Last Chance is track #9 on the album. Marvinās voice and tone gives me goosebumps on the opening of that track.
Tracks #9, #10 and #11 are the superb new Salaam Remi remixes. Salaam can do no wrong.
