Instrumental/Cinematic Soul (now includes: VOCALS)

Alright

Who is making the playlist of this thread then ?

I made the thread, not it

Oops, forgot the thread said instrumental. Cinematic Orchestra are ‘mostly’ instrumental cinematic soul.

These guys, Cosmic Analog Ensemble (actually one guy Charif Megarbane under the ensemble name) are very good.

Love this stuff. Surprise Chef, Ironsides, David Axelrod, SFJ, SHOLTO. All great.

One not mentioned yet (I think, sorry if it has been) is Karate Boogaloo. Last year’s album was excellent.

Colemine Records is chock full of this stuff. Okonski is on the jazzier end of this stuff, but the album released this year is wonderful

Yes to this^

I’m hoping to make it down to their record store this summer and/or their massive barn sale. Both look epic. I’ve got one of these on the record player too

You’ll probably enjoy The Rugged Nuggets and The Winston Brothers. I quite like the Scone Cash Players too.

The Heliocentrics were the band that got me into this style of music. A lot more jazz than soul, but definitely fits in here. RIP Ade.

Couple from the Huey show today

Blue Earth Sound had an album out last week by the looks of things. This was lovely

And he played a Sven Wunder track, assuming from their upcoming album released on Friday. Was bloody gorgeous.

Listening to a bit of Bob James this morning. One is such a great little album, Valley of the Shadows and Nautilus are so so iconic.

Hip hop would be so different if it wasn’t for Bob James.

Adding it to the list!

Also a new Okonski track last week. Jazzier sorta of vibes, but fits the bill for this thread nicely
