Sounds of the 70s present a new compilation of 
rare and out-of-print 70s music

Back to basics
a string of musical bits to please your brain


Today's crisis is partly due to the lack of control of the tools that have been developped since the 70s : complex computerised algorithms in market finance and insurance are one of them.
Many Frankensteins have been released in the past 3 decades and it is time to take time and think about what mankind really can handle especially in science and technics. Time to reconsider what moral limits to impose here.
So what about rethinking our system and "values" (or what's left..) and go back to basics

comments on tracks:
I love more and more instrumental tracks in whatever style: Rodando por ai from the perfect album Os Catedraticos 73 (released as Skyscrapers in the USA) by Deodato as a brazilian beat jerk exemple, Last Tango in Paris from the amazing Fuego by Mongo Santamaria in a funky latin-jazz way. Charles Kynard's Summer breeze from Your mama don't dance is a superb jazz-funk track, with a strange almost sinister intro for a summer track. Blackness of darkness by Cedric Im brooks is a cool reggaejazzfunk track that can warm any atmosphere!
But some good old funk/disco/boogaloo is necessary to balance that : Carl Carlton cover of the Stevie Wonder Signed Sealed Delivered (here to celebrate the election of Barack Obama), or the Lebron Brothers in the funky latin soul gemm Together.
To close the compilation are 2 tracks from one of the very last Live session from an artist you all know. The outro is touching, the artist evokes the end of his life and career (over a totally killer jam groove that needs attention)... he died soon after shot dead by his father.
