Mandre 2
US MOTOWN LP - £12

I am reluctant to mention P-Funk as an influence in this guys music as he really stands on his own but there is certainly a nod to the PFunk sound but he has cranked up the spaced out element. Whilst much of the music is laid back & beautiful it can suddenly burst into a moments excitement. For me the whole of side 2 is a killer dreamy spacy soundscape for those afterhours situations
