Review: Island funk and soul classic Time Is The Answer from the Wildfire band is getting reissued on both clear and black vinyl this month, with this being the super limited transparent version. It is a first-ever reissue for this much sought-after album and it arrives just in time for summer, which is when it sounds best, some 43 years after it was first self-released back in 1980 on their own self-titled label. The band was well known back in the 80s thanks to performances all across Trinidad, Tobago, the Caribbean, US Virgin Islands and French Guadeloupe. This is the best of the four albums they released - a warm and immersive blend of funk, soul and disco. .

Review: Emphatic in its emphasis on the intoxicating power of love, 'Under The Influence Of Love' is the debut album by Karin Jones, a Canadian soul singer who shared her sonic vision with producer Willi Morrison and arranger Dunn Pearson. The LP was made far earlier than its release date, since it had to be shelved due to label issues - but it endured the test of time and in 1982, Jim Tyrrell of Handshake Records discovered Jones' demo tape and signed the album. Jones' disco-funk vision is heavily stooped in neat production tricks and audiophile's choices; her voice is quiet in the mix on street soul beauties like 'Ready, Ready Love', but it cuts like a knife.

Review: Time Is The Answer is an undeniable Island Funk-Soul classic from Wildfire that now gets its first ever official reissue on vinyl. It was originally self-released back in 1980 on their own self titled label and now comes on nice heavyweight vinyl, which is just what it deserves. The band was well known in their day as leaders in their field thanks to famous performances all across Trinidad, Tobago, the Caribbean, US Virgin Islands and French Guadeloupe. The dropped four albums in all and plenty of top-selling singles and this one is one of the best - a fine mix of funk, soul and disco with glorious grooves and magical melodies as well as buttery smooth vocals.
