Description
People Of Earth claim that Rick Wade is on top form on their latest release. While that’s undoubtedly true, the Detroiter has incredibly high standards and rarely puts out anything mediocre.
The four tracks here are all deliciously deep and fluid, with the Fender Rhodes solos, meandering organ lines, warm bass and chunky beats of “Never Give Up” delivering just the right blend of instrumental goodness and dancefloor-ready weightiness. “Seen At Night” is an even deeper and hazier treat, while “Forever Alone” sees Wade wrap bongo-laden beats and eyes-closed electric piano chords around a ludicrously warm and heavy bassline. Solo-laden closing cut “Rooftop” is also superb – a proper sundown selection of the highest calibre.
