Funk/Rare Groove

Side 1. Twookie Wonder Brown Side 2. Celebrity BBQ Party

Underground Resistance member Gerald Mitchell is back on Mother Tongue Records, and this time he's joined by an all-star band featuring some of Detroit's finest musicians and producers (Pirahnahead, Billy Love, Duminie Deporres and Mark Anthony included). As you've probably guessed, this is no Motor City tech-jazz excursion, but rather a wholehearted tribute to the colourful, synth-laden Detroit funk pioneered by Parliament. A-side 'Twookie Wonder Brown' is particularly impressive, with Mitchell telling the tale of the titular hero over squelchy bass, kaleidoscopic synths and a metronomic groove. That said, the deeper 'Celebrity BBQ Party', with its' flash-fried jazz-funk guitar licks and warming chords, is also superb.
