CLICK HERE AND LISTEN TO THE SOUNDCLIP / MP3 our soundburger records faster than normal :
EMANCIPATED Lp by SAGE music played by STUMP vocals by SAGE aka GEORGE CHANDLER / CHARLES CANNON / RUDY ROLLINS and STANLEY EVANS previously known as THE FOUR KENTS horn arrangements by MARCELLO FANESCHI. Original Italian promo pressing on RCA VICTOR label LISP 34162 , from 1972. Seldom heard and little known Italian-only oddity. Recorded in Rome, this obscure rare groove Lp should appeal to the Bobby Boyd Congress collector or other big euro funk cum soul crossover lover An infectious hybrid of soul and psychedelia with a funky progressive undercurrent. Sage was a studio creation of RCA in an attempt to give The Four Kents ex American soldiers based in Italy since the mid 60s a fresher / modern image by updating their brand of harmony soul with an edgy and experimental Italian group. Stump features Franco Di Stefano the funky drummer on the Paolo Casa - Nature Italian Library and Goblin-esque bass player, Dino Cappa of Libra the band behind the Schock soundtrack from Mario Bava s last foray into Italian horror film directing . Singer, Charlie Cannon can also be heard on the Gianni Mazza - IL Giorno Del Cobra soundtrack on Cinevox label. Stump s eclectic rhythms and Sage s soulful voices do get deep and some may find a touch convoluted but in the context of the time and place, they capture perfectly the hippie influenced ambience of the period. The counterpoint harmony phrasing of Sage also reminds us of The Mighty Ryeders - Help Us Spread The Message grail with splashes of Motown / psychedelic soul and flower power tinged black consciousness. There s also a jazzy horn section and flautist on this recording, played by uncredited Italian session men. A few examples of crude yet effective studio FX from backward tape manipulation to dub on here too. Our soundclip opens with the black psych cum Norman Whitfield inspired funk opus STILL GOES ON complete with gothic hammond and soul searching, spoken word style middle section followed by the fuzz distortions and symphonic funky rock breaks of MUSIC IS then several other important trax. Lots of beats / loops and samples. Killer soul with funky hip hop drums on WINDS OF CHANGE / more hip hop - sweet soul and spiritual nuances throughout DID YOU EVER WONDER / psych folk and gospel influences with sophisticated harmony on GARDEN OF BOOM. Both SLOW DOWN and PEOPLE RUNNING are groovy and joyous. Certain arrangements have clever tempo changes or longer instrumental passages that sometimes shift the ambience into more complex / avantgarde funk directions. Great for DJs looking for something a little bit different. Striking, Tolkien influenced sleeve artwork by Up Down Studio the sleeve illustrators of The Healthy Food Band and Quella Vecchia Locanda debut featuring a scary monster face and little green Golem creature. An item usually only found on the walls of Italian prog dealers at important record fairs.
