TREVOR AND GEOFF BASTOW - DOUBLE EXPOSURE






Track 1 - Raunchy
Track 2 - White Lightning
Track 3 - Airedale (Curry)
Track 4 - One More Time
Track 5 - Funky Monkey
Track 6 - Winds Of Change
Track 7 - Look Before You Leap
Track 8 - Over Easy
Track 9 - Spring Loaded
Track 10 - Run For Cover
Track 11 - Chopping Block
Track 12 - Broken Bossa

This album from the Programme Music library presents the Bastow brothers in a slightly different light to much of the work they did for Bruton. It's straight up jazz/funk with plenty of satisfying guitar, piano, organ and vibes on show. Despite the lack of a prominent bass sound the grooves are fairly chunky with the best tracks displaying a blaxploitation style vibe. There are highlights all over the place and any record with track titles like "Funky Monkey" and "Raunchy" is just fine with me!
