Side A’s “Intergalactic Love Song” by the Diddys & featuring Paige
Douglas is a vocal version of the Charles Earland's instrumental
classic (who also produced the track) & is a disco-tinge jazz-funk
groover that you will want in your bag. It glides across the
dancefllor with a breezy ease & pulls you in.
B. side
On the flip, we have“Searching The Circle” by Barbara & Ernie from the
classic psyche-folk soul album “Prelude To …” (Ctollion - SD 9044),
produced by Joel Thorn. It’s a wonderfully weird little record that
has a sound that's unlike anything else I can think of.
This trippy early-70s folk-jazz-soul nugget featured here from
guitarist Ernie Calabria & singer/keyboardist Barbara Massey (back-up
for Cat Stevens, amongst others). Arrangements are by the pair, but
Deodato also had a hand in the record too along w/ Grady Tate on
drums, Ralph McDonald on percussion, & Sam Brown on guitar.
It holds a righteous groove undercurrent that recalls Richard Evans or
Charles Stepney. Massey’s vocals have a flanged-out quality that's
clearly overdubbed, creating a double-voiced sound that's almost a bit
like Brasil 66! Completely unique, & sublime throughout with/ a vibe
that was years ahead of its time.
