There are few who manage to nail restrained but genuine funk quite like Mr G. With a minimum of fuss but careful attention to detail, Colin McBean (to his folks) can create a real sense of wonder out of a simple drum pattern, the odd wisely placed sample and a straightforward melody. This latest offering for Monique Musique is no different, as the title track neatly exemplifies with its bongo-enhanced disco roll and direct chord stabs. "Heavy Gal" is a rougher prospect, working a measured garage shuffle over a growling, unending bass line and coming up with gold once again.
