Both Sides CD music. Long overdue (like about 30 years!) debut album for Walls who is, as one reviewer put it, "the best organ player you never heard of." You can hear him now in live concert with long-time friend and rival Jack McDuff. You guessed it. McDuff and Walls battle it out as in days of yore, note for note and screeching chord against chord. This is a classic jam battle with a few vocals thrown in for diversion. McDuff is bound to let Walls (after all these years) be heard, so he does not struggle too hard. Good funk fun. Live set means balance a little off, but who cares. ~ Michael Erlewine

One look at the artwork of Jacques Lu Cont's album will tell you from which era he takes his predominant influence: the '80s. The sleeve features the kind of airbrushed artwork in pastel shades that you would see adorning the walls of every gym and sleazy nightclub during that decade. Musically, Lu Cont seems to show an interest in early house and the electronic funk of artists such as the Eurythmics, Cameo, Prince, and even the likes of the Thompson Twins and Duran Duran during their "wild boys" period. He is frighteningly good at re-creating this sound--"Soft Machine" could have been lifted straight from the soundtrack of a John Hughes-type Brat-Pack movie.
It is refreshing to discover an artist who is unashamed in declaring his affection for a decade that others spurn as vulgar and tasteless. Lu Cont has even collaborated with Nik Kershaw on "Sometimes," which Kershaw co-wrote and helps in singing. Just when you thought the era of the mullet haircut and the yuppie were long forgotten, Les Rythmes Digitales are here to show what great production and sounds were in their embryonic stages in the '80s.
Every club-oriented stylistic speed-bump of the decade is right here, including the era of female dance-pop before Madonna. 13 tracks in all featuring 'Jaques Your Body', 'Sometimes' & '(Hey You) What's That Sound?'.
Recorded at Quad Studios, New York, New York.
