INGRAM "That's all"

Released in 1977. I love this album between free Funk, Space Disco with a Psychedelic touch, easy listening. All tracks are goods and differents but this album is coherent from A to Z.
"Mi Sabrina tequana" is a dope Space Disco tune (no doubt one of the best ever), "That's all" is funky enough, and many more...
You've got to listen it, because it's an ignored LP in fact.
In my top ten rare grooves LP, I would like to be buried with !

MANDRE "Mandre"

1977, first LP on Motown for Mandre, it's a kind of space Disco with high fly synth funk mixed with a flavor of P.Funk. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince used "Solar flight" for a title on their LP "He's the DJ, I'm the rapper". Check too, "Soldier of Twilight" in the House section.

Funky-Jazz, soulful, and almost a bit laidback at times. Filled with great keyboard lines from Larry Muhoberac with flyin' synth "I Can't Move No Mountains", who also helped arranged the album with Last and Wes Farrell. Ernie Watts on sax, Tom Scott on flute and Bobby Bryant on trumpet.
