Retroactive (Part Three) - Sir Lord Commix (R-Time Records)



Title: Retroactive Part 3
Artist: Sir Lord Commix
Label: R-Time Records
Cat Number: RTM006
Genre: Deep House

1: Evidence
2: Soul House
3: B Boy Disco
4: Flash ‘N’ Folks

‘Retroactive Part 2’ was reviewed on this blog a few months back, and what you get here is more of the same. The tunes here are rereleases which were scattered on various labels twenty or so years ago, and it’s a testament to Ammon Andrews’ skill as a producer that their time is coming around once more. Either that or we really haven’t made much progress and everything still sounds the same. In any case, with the exception of ‘B Boy Disco’ which is sparse, percussive and a tool, this is a lush, soulful spacey release with obvious nods to Detroit and has stood the test of time well. Lovely stuff.
