Midnight at the Oasis (2024 Remaster)

Two lesser-known but super funky Bobby Thurston tracks get The Reflex Revision treatment, taking these down and dirty boogie album originals and exposing both the Go-Go soul and house roots buried in the mix. Prelude stalwarts Willie Lester, guitarist/songwriter Rodney Brown and engineer Bob Dawson had brought their Washington D.C. sound to the label’s biggest successes, including those of Gayle Adams (“Your Love is a Life Saver”) and Sharon Redd (“Can You Handle It.”) For these slightly grittier Bobby Thurston tracks, Lester and Brown’s band feel every one of their slower beats (102 BPM for “I Know You Feel Like I Feel” and a hypnotizing 78 BPM for “I Want Your Body.”) From 1981’s The Main Attraction, “I Know You Feel” seduces you with old school brass and a traditional structure; it practically begs you to find a dance partner. Isolating the vocals and backbeat, The Reflex makes Louie Oxley’s filthy Go-Go Moog bassline the star of his Revision. He also reveals Theodore “Sugarbear” Jones’s fabulous but hidden Chic-esque guitar riff. 1980’s “I Want Your Body” features a more radical Revision from The Reflex, starting by exposing the lush strings and brass and holding off the “drop” of the funky drummer until the final minute of the song, by which time the sexual tension has reached breaking point.

Bobby Thurston - I Know You Feel Like I Feel (The Reflex Revision)

As heard in season 1, episode 14 of FOX'S ROSEWOOD!

The Meltdown. It’s a bold, brassy, twangy steam train of bumping backbeats and swinging shuffles. Then there’s that voice. Sweet as honey. The voice is soul, but it’s country too and something else indefinable; like you heard it before but don’t know where… Introducing Better Days, The Meltdown’s first release on HopeStreet Recordings.

There’s a fair chance you haven’t heard that voice before, because for the last few years Simon Burke has been flying small planes out of small airfields in the dusty backcountry and taking refuge from the hustle and grind of the music business to raise a young family. The time off has been fruitful. A lifetime of writing and experience is condensed into a golden set of songs and a killer new band, The Meltdown, which Simon formed in collaboration with saxophonist and arranger Lachlan McLean. Great vibe, great players, great sound, but it’s the songs that are king here.

There are a lot of soul revival bands around, but the Meltdown’s angle is different  – Simon and Lachlan are both pretty country and The Meltdown has more than a bit of that Ray Charles country via gospel thing, and a taste of dirty blues in it too. Echoes of towns like Euroa and Avenel, where the boys blew in from, or just artistic license? Either way, if there’s one thing that soul and country can both do for you, it’s songs about heartbreak, so here’s some rippers. Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce to you the inimitable voice and songwriting of Mr Simon Burke. And yes, in advance, you’re welcome.
