Plat du Jour : Brick - Brick (1977)

Chronique Dusty Groove

Classic work from Brick – a group who went onto become surprisingly successful during the 70s with a hot Atlanta blend of funky soul and uptempo club grooves – absolutely killing it early on with this self-titled second album! Brick has a feel that would be taken up heavily a few years later by LA funk combos – particularly those on the Solar label – and their style of slicking up funky licks into a tightly compressed sound was obviously a big hit with the kids of their generation. Includes the sample classic "Dusic", plus "Living From The Mind", "Happy", "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody", "Honey Chile", Fun", "Hello" and more. This CD edition on Wounded Bird has 2 bonus tracks: "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody (Single Version)" and "Dusic (Short Version)".

L'addition : On a déja parlé de ce groupe pour "Summer Heat", un monstrueux tube de cette excellente troupe de Funk. Mais tout est bon chez Brick, et surtout leur groove bien poisseux. Voici certainement un de leur meilleur album si ce n'est LE meilleur.
