The 70s are a bottomless pit of musical gemms, as shows this spectacular and unexpected compilation made in Japan on the roots of Scandinavian soul jazzfunk and boogie. The land of Abba and its neighbours was also home of one the finest musicians in jazz, soul, a background that for sure explains the quality of today's music from this scene.
I chose a track by former Abba guitarist Lasse Wellander who delivers a solid jazzfunk piece from 1976, miles away from his disco imprints.

Hi folks. Today a brief post to pay tribute to one of the greatest 70s jazz funk band, Seawind. Among their discography, my favorite album is "Light the Light", 1979. Pauline Wilson´s voice has the perfect tone, pitch and color that define a 70s voice...
Judge by yourself with this superbly grooving jazz-funk track, that I rank definitely among my all time 70s favorite
I strongly recommend you to buy the full remastered album, easily affordable, it will fit perfectly in your 70s cd collection and your kids will be very happy to see a real cd in a few years, when boring mp3 will have erased them from earth...

Let´s resume this year with another multi-flavored 70s compilation. The title and the cover are a tribute to all the 70s designer that made the design of what is now called the "space age" period, were metacrylate, polyester, ABS, PP and many other plastics were about to replace natural components thanks to their ability to adapt in form to any designer wet dream. The period was in that field too a burst of creativity that I invite you to explore.
Despite the title this compilation is not a "space music" compilation, a 70s sub-genre that I find rather boring actually. The mix here is richer, from the usual musical horizons that this blog embraces, from disco, soul, lounge or boogaloo.
SPACE AGE MOTIONS
another round-the-globe trip in 70s motions
1 Harvey Averne - Don't Let Me Down
2 Roberto Delgado - Corcovado
3 Juliette Gréco Die - Gammlerin
4 Minako Yoshida - Rainbow Sea Line
5 A Tribo - Sei la (Tema de Maria Lucia)
6 Claudia Frente - Fria
7 Jackie Moore - Just to be with you
8 Tavares - Positive Forces
9 Horace Family - God Will Dry My Weeping Eyes
10 Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)
11 Kool & The Gang - Rated X
12 Louie Ramirez - Love It Up
13 J.Costanzo & G. Woo - Green Onions
14 The Har-You Percussion Group - Tico
ps: the picture shows one of the most amazing 70s house ever made, called a "bulle" (bubble) by 70s French genius architect Jean Maneval. These houses were comisioned in the early 70s by the French national oil company for a kids summer camp in the south of France. For sure they wanted to convert these kids to the new 70s materials and the new way of living as young as possible.. Maybe they played loud disco in these too?

THINK GREEN, NOW
stop buying products
- that directly pollute (SUVs, McDonalds and the junk food industry, canned drinks etc..)
- that need remote shipping (=additional pollution + unemployment at home)
- that are over-wrapped with tones of plastic, cardboard etc..
- that are disposable for no good reason (do you need to go to f... ing Starbucks Coffee that invented un-ecological coffee?!..)
- that cannot be recycled (but that's not enough as recycling generates pollution too)
- that are made and sold by companies that show little concern with ecology (so many I know..)
Things haven't changed since the first 70's ecological leaders opened their mouth, it's urging that we citizens take full responsability
