Celebrating the confirmation of my vaccination appointment.

A most welcome vinyl press (finally) of the Plush album “Fed” on Be With Records

Its expansive, singular vision infamously took years to realise, involving Earth Wind & Fire’s horn arranger (the legendary Tom Tom MMLXXXIV) amongst other elite personnel. Recorded with five different engineers (including Steve Albini and John McEntire), Hayes meticulously extracted every ounce of pop from each note. A long list of renowned studio ringers (including soul drummer Morris Jennings) and Chicago regulars (McEntire, Rizzo, Parker) among many others provide playing of demonstrably professional precision. As such, Hayes’ complex, meandering melodies are rendered far more coherent and satisfying than they otherwise might have appeared, bringing his epic, anguished pop to a rarely seen level of perfection and depth. This unstinting dedication to the overarching vision was rewarded handsomely - artistically, at least.

A wide-eyed opus of stunning intensity, Fed oozes Hayes’ impeccable influences without ever becoming overwhelmed by them. Incredibly, it touches upon Blaxploitation soul, Boz Scaggs-soft-rock, hints of jazz and blues, timeless baroque and skewed pop. In one long minute, the stabbing, soulful “So Blind” moves through five different melodic segments; horns shift easily from haunting backdrop to explosive forefront, smoothly giving way to strings as Hayes’ voice casts its bewitching spell.

Really feeling this currently. hypnotic deep house from back in 91.
If you’re feeling it, V4 Visions is on bandcamp, though can only see a remix and a new york mix of the track.

Currently listening to this MailTape 437 - Stefan Christoff a curated mix tape dropped in your inbox every Sunday.
Feeling- relaxed

this has got “Where’s Your Love Gone?” and a few other favourites on it - “Jealousy And Lies” and “Pressure Dub” alone make it worthwhile.
