(19/18) Concept album from the delectable Saucy Lady who graces Brooklyn boogie stable, Star Creature, with a killer album of space-aligned funk, boogie and soulful vocal meanderings. With all titles referencing the glorious infinite that is the universe, there's definitely a cosmic leaning to these super slick-produced, impeccably written tunes.
As you'd expect, it features some classic instrumentation from the 80s, with a rich array of analogue synths, vintage drum machines and dreamy DSP keyboards all working in tandem to produce a coherent body of work that has 'future masterpiece' written all over it.
Nods to Herbie Hancock, Wally Badarou, Dam Funk and Parliament can all be noted throughout the two-disc journey but this is no pastiche. This is 100% raw funk flavour; guided by a true universal being who's perfectly in tune with his studio set up. Not only is this a high watermark for the Star Creature label, it's an essential addition to the modern funk and bedroom boogie cannons of today.
