REWIND: Julius Brockington & The Magic Force Remind Us To Hold On To This Feeling of Freedom

Mon, Aug 13, 2007 at 2:54 pm Posted in Musique Non Stop

I remember hearing this track as the basis for a Jurassic 5 track a few years back and being totally hooked. It’s not a complicated chorus, but the groove laid down in it is so funky and dynamic, it’s hard not to get sucked in. I guess that when this song first appeared in 1973, it sounded like the first cut I have up (sorry for the 64k version, I couldn’t find one any better). As the a-side of the 45, it came all in one piece. It seems spare and monaural on purpose, a band with a great song struggling to be out there and be heard. I gather from what I was able to read out there that it was remixed and reissued on 7″ the following year. The 1974 version is even funkier, splitting the song into two parts, adding funktastic horns and screaming synthesizers to what was already a damn funky track. Check it out for yourselves.
