Nathan Haines – The Chillifunk Years

It’s a little while since Nathan Haines and Phlash blessed us with a Jazzy dancefloor stormer and whilst this isn’t a new release, it does bring together some of Nathan’s finest musical gems and includes a bonus disc of key remixes.

It’s a little while since Nathan Haines and Phlash blessed us with a Jazzy dancefloor stormer and whilst this isn’t a new release, it does bring together some of Nathan’s finest musical gems and includes a bonus disc of key remixes. Haines is a talented musician and alongside Phlash and a plethora of instrumentals and vocal hounds, he has created some ace tracks that deserve another airing. « Earth Is The Place » is still a buoyant key and brass lifted piece, topped off by Verna Francis’s inspiring vocals, whilst « O Misterio » is flute led dream. The pick of remixes are Kenny Dope’s squelch’n’key refit of « Believe » and Ashley Beedle’s stringtastic « Doot Dude » touch up. This is a rather nice anthology, but not a substitute for a new album!
