This release is so slow and funky that even if you’re now the proud owner of a mobility scooter I’m sure you’ll be able to dance to it. There’s a couple of long workouts; ‘It’s More Fun 2 Make Love’ and ‘Dreamer’ facing off against two, for the most part, instrumental vignettes. ‘Ghana Do It’ is a shuffling, flanged loop, while ‘Memories’ is something similar, but is more uplifting due to its horn, vocal combo. ‘It’s More Fun 2 Make Love’ is an elongated affair, full of sex noises and overtones of quintessential blaxploitation. ‘Dreamer’ has the feel of a drunkard trying to navigate the simplest route from A to B, reaching sporadic safe havens, and then continuing. It’s an interesting journey that assumes a variety of forms and deftly uses a vocal to elevate its ambience. Eddie C is the brains behind a release whose power lies in its subtlety and understatement, except for the sex noises.
