Sharon Brown - I Specialize In Love OVERVIEW: It is 1983 and you™ve just stepped into your Ford Capri with your girlfriend Julie. You live in Harlow, but in your head you™re really somewhere near Salou in Spain, next to your yacht. But the thing you really love is soul and they play nothing but at Sups in Loughton. OK, so It™s not 1983 at all. It™s 2014, but listening to this electrofied soul, will put you back in the zone. Tom Findlay, one half of Grammy-nominated Groove Armada, has put this collection together: a stamp of authenticity in itself. Tom has also put a few of these through the edit wringer, reworking many of the tunes for maximum towelling sockability. You™ll probably recognise a few tunes. There™s Mtume™s incredible ˜Juicy Fruit™, still sounding advanced and modern, while ˜I Specialize In Love, mixed by disco legend Tee Scott, is even older yet sounds equally perky. The 1980s was a period that was pretty much owned by Minneapolis thanks to Prince and former cohorts Jam & Lewis and the latter weigh in with a pair of killer productions, Thelma Houston™s ˜You Used To Hold Me So Tight™ and Alexander O™Neal™s ˜What™s Missing™. And since this is Late Night Tales, there is always our exclusive cover version, this time done by Findlay and Tim Hutton™s Sugardaddy, who™ve delivered an ace version of ˜Don™t Look Any Further™. Grab yourself a bar stool, order a cocktail, take a sip and make believe you™re lying on a shagpile carpet with the soul star of your dreams. Bill Brewster Automatic Soul, like my previously compiled Late Night Tales Music For Pleasure, is based very much on a sound. It's a sound that I feel has been overlooked: 80s R&B-infused music, with drum machines, synths and invariably brilliant vocals. It™s formed the bedrock of my rare groove sets for all the years I™ve played. It™s not the most fashionable, but to me it™s the perfect marriage of technology and soul, hence the title for this album, Automatic Soul. There are plenty of songs I could have included, and no doubt some that I shouldn™t, but I™ve tried to represent what™s best to me from this era. It™s not a classic Late Night Tales. It™s a pretty personal journey, which I hope some of you might be willing to share„ Tom Findlay Groove Armada September 2014 LABEL PROFILE: The šLate Night Tales› series was launched in 2001.
