MOODYMANN Vinyl & CDs

Review: Peacefrog Records' Japanese offshoot is currently serving up reissues of Moodymann's various classic albums of the late '90s and early 2000s. The series has now reached 2000's 'Forevernevermore', the legendary Detroit producer's third full-length excursion. Beginning with the hypnotic, locked-in Afro-house of 'Meanwhile Back At Home', the set sees Moodymann flit between weirdo interludes ('Wednesday Night People'), analogue-rich beatdown wooziness ('The Set Up'), hybrid deep house/techno eccentricity ('Track 4'), revivalist disco/jazz-funk (the superb 'Don't You Want My Love'), ultra-deep house ('Your Sweet Love', the awesome 'Tribute'), dusty gospel-house ('The Thief That Stole My Sad Days (Ya Blessin Me)'), and the kind of jazzy, thickset deep house brilliance that has always been the producer's stock-in-trade ('Forevernevermore').
