Stanton Davis' Ghetto Mysticism - Things Cannot Stop Forever (Al Kent Version) (12", Cultures Of Soul, 2014)
US label Cultures Of Soul launched a year ago a new series of disco 12 inches records. The first release gathers two jazz-funk disco pieces from American trumpeter Stanton Davis and his Ghetto Mysticism band in 1977, previously released on the 'Brighter Days' album. The tune featured here were reworked by UK disco legend Al Kent, who went for the multi-track recordings for even more re-creation… On the A-side, 'Things Cannot Stop Forever', with its killer rolling bassline, gets some new, four-on-the-floor modern funk drums, and additional synths played by Ricky Reid. The result is superbly trippy discoidal grooves that should warm up every kind of dancefloor. On the flip, the uptempo disco jazz number 'High Jazz' gets buffed-up into a cosmic stomping drive, between house and the trance-pop of Underworld.
