CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT most high
RATING
Laid back 70s soul/funk this morning. Really pretty perfect for waking too.
Lemuria where from Hawaii and recorded this in 1978. Like yestedays song, it was given a tiny release on a tiny label and it duly sank without trace, only to be discovered years later by the rare vinyl hounds. By coincidence, Jazzman records have recently re-issued it. I'm almost tempted to buy it again.
The track features primarily the vocal talents of Sharon ‘Terea’ Robinson who sings the refrain 'I just want a big old hunk of heaven' so many times that it can't fail to stick in your head. She's backed by a lovely combination of percussion, funky moog (think Stevie Wonder) and funky bass. In fact, there's a vibe real close to some of Wonder's best funky grooves of the early 70s here. Only with more percussion. This is really that good. I only needed to hear it once yesterday and it was running round in my head for hours and i was quite happy that it was.
