BRIT FUNK/PARADISE GARAGEクラシック！アーバン・メロウ・ファンク「PEACE ON EARTH」＆「YOU’RE MY GIRL」はBREAKWATER好き必聴！
DAVID JOSEPHが在籍したブリット・ファンク・グループ唯一のアルバム。「PEACE ON EARTH」はMUROさんも『DIGGN’ HEAT』にてセレクトした最高のアーバン・メロウ・ファンク。同じくメロウネス滴る「YOU’RE MY GIRL」など、パーカッシヴでファンキーなアレンジの、高揚感に溢れた代表作「BRITISH HUSTLE」(AZ FEAT. RON G「SIDE TO SIDE」ネタ)や同路線の「UNSPOKEN」、STARLIGHT「NUMERO UNO」でも使われた「HI-TENSION」以外にも名曲満載。「AUTUMN LOVE」はSAINT PEPSI「WALKING TALKING」でサンプリングされました。BREAKWATER、AVERAGE WHITE BANDが好みならこちらもマストです。UK ORIGINAL盤！
