McNeal & Niles
I have already uncovered enough evidence -- in the liner notes, online, and in the press materials -- that the new re-release of McNeal & Niles' Thrust will be heavily regarded by journalists and diggers as "sublime." And you know what, I agree with the description. I had never heard of this partnership, nor of this thankfully unearthed gem that puts the disco back in discovery. This is funk for fans of funk et plus and soul for folks that may not be tapped directly into the holy spirit. "Punk Funk" is practically indescribable unless I plan on breaking 300 words (so just listen to it) and "Untitled" sounds like Tortoise covering Zapp & Roger's "Dance Floor" (sampled by Tupac in "California Love"). Some really nice, eclectic esoteric funk re-released by the good people at the excellent Chocolate Industries imprint. Check it.
