Break it down to me sweetly, sweetie I need it sugar coated
I’m just too sensitive One at a time
You’re lifting both of your feet
To the pace of this beat
The rules have been changed Throw your ways away
Now break it down to me Break it down to me sweet
I guess I must sound just like a broken record Well, I don’t feel heard
Now I gave it some time I gave it some thought
I need to move on
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
