Blue Boy – Scattered Emotions EP

Original Guidance release very much with Guidance feel. House all across the map, and of course that one gem.

So Lonely is based on Roy Ayers song Freay Deaky

Very overrated record with two stock-standard disco/funk house tracks in "So Lonely" and "Funky Friday", and the half-decent mainstream triphop of " Me".

B2 "Clickwork '91" is a great subdued Detroit house shuffler which would warrant the purchase if this were cheaper.

B1 'Funky Friday' contains clever double speed sample use of Marvin Gaye's "A Funky Space Reincarnation". Lex Blackmore (Blue Boy) is a Scott, here on Guidance records- ' Me' smashed its way into the mainstream quite deservedly, and sits comfortably next to 'So Lonely'. On the flip, 'Funky Friday' and 'Clickwork '91' are so ridiculously good they easily find home in the cream of US deep/disco house releases of the late '80's/early '90's, finding competition in bona fide Chi/NY/Detroit/Philly underground classics. This was released in '96, but the sampling and structure at its heart remains true to the pure, early sensibilities of 'house' music, making this, in essence, both timeless and authentic. Grab one.

Very good realese this one for BlueBoy...easy-playing tracks made of classical samples like Marlena Shawn and Gino Soccio (so lonely)...!
thnx :)

Beautifully smooth and funky house also featuring the minor chart hit in the U.K. ' me' with that classic sample.
oh boy I'm getting twitchy feet just thinking about it.
