112 kbps preview. This is a cover of the Walter Murphy classic by the super talented Haitian - Canadian pianist Henri-Pierre Noël, a long lost gem from 1979 unearthed by the Wah Wah 45's label and released for the first time last year. Luckily the multitrack tapes had survived so I had the honor to go first on these. First I did a track called 'Diskette' (preview here, it will be out in a couple of months : https://soundcloud.com/thereflex/henri-pierre-no-l-diskette-o) and then this superb version of 'A Fifth Of Beethoven' where Henri-Pierre excels in re-arranging the famous strings and clavinet licks into a masterful piano performance. My version uses all of the original sounds except for the kick drum that I've replaced (+ fx swooshes here and there). Out on 10th Feb, WAV and MP3 available at Juno:  http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q[title][]=%22wah+friends+electric+2%22

From the first album, "This is Marijata", Ghana 1976. With hints of its Highlife origins to the evolution of Afro-funk, by way of James Brown, this is one of the greatest funk albums to come out of West Africa.

PillowTalk's warm jazzed out reimagining of "If This World Were Mine" works on so many levels. Taking just a vocal outro harmony sung by Marvin Gaye and Tami Terrell, they have created a future soul classic.  Complete with live instrumentation and key arrangement, these fellas just have a way of putting a new stamp on these timeless compositions. This is really something special and comes just in time for the holidays. Everyone could use some "Good Lovin'" this time of the year and this is just the tune to deliver.
