WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN LIVES / MAKE IT SWEET (7 INCH)
7 Inch 16.08.19
lillian alexander s a dream without you is an incredible modern soul tune with an undeniable drumbeat and funky slap-bass intro. reissued direct from the original reynolds master tapes, this song is sure to move the dancefloor. this is the original 7inch version which is a different mix than the album version.
you just can t keep a man like carlton jumel smith down. this time around we get another soulful k.o. from his debut album in the form of -love our love affair-, a mid-tempo groover drawn from that sweet well of southern soul. one of the fortes of carlton s -1634 lexington ave.- lp is that it flows along as an entity but also revels in the strengths of its individual parts. this fourth single brings out another stylistic strain from carlton and cold diamond & mink s repertoire. after the tight intro and the vibraphone licks have set the scene there are twists and turns plus some classy action from jukka eskola on trumpet, did we mention the instrumental on the flip side? this single might be just the thing you needed to jump start the morning or blast in your sunday evening radio show.
when reggae masters turn hits into jamaican groove. sly robbie, alpha blondy, marcia griffiths, horace andy, morgan heritage, gregory isaacs, inna de yard, alton ellis, ken boothe, jimmy riley... they all play the game with their new versions of hits of today and yesterday.

welcome to another chrome-plated arcola curveball, this time in the form of a trio of the moodiest cyber steppers from the shadowy levl. somewhere in an ai ether, faded pirate radio transmissions merged with drowsy half-memories of metal gear solid and gained sentience. the results are subtle yet sublime, a masterful combination of percussion and atmosphere to get truly lost within. these three shots of cave-dwelling soundsystem mutation are as evocative as they are insular and in the midst of these uncertain days you may just find you need them in your life.
