Lovebug presents 'Close to him Pt. IV' [Gospel Modern Soul Boogie]

Time for another part of the 'Close to him' series. I feel good with that one and i hope you conaisseurs out there, too. We are starting with great synthplay and pressure done by The Southern Nightingales. Not only they've been picked up by Jesus. Also Spirit feat. Deyon is raised up in this mid-80s saxy monster that builds and builds.
Years ago i had a diggin' trip with my mate Serdar and i stumbled over Gene Toon & the Canaires, which is a great bluesy gospelish boogie tune. I never came across to that somewhere else. Nice artwork with a glued DIY Label. Give it a try. 1 Accord is a fat production slippin' into disco followed by the Sensational Four. Don't be fooled about the 1985 production as this is really early 80s sounding boogie-funkster. We open the throttle with Bro. Isaac Jenkins that speeds up to heaven with elevated drumming and arrangement to the end80s Minister Kirby Hair and Dedication on classical gospel-rhythms.
Julian from our bleep-crew gave me one day the Jerome and Roberson & Prayz LP as a gift, and now fits nice into the mix. Thanks for that! God is able! But, the devil is on topic on Rev. Rhymes fullfilled rap album afterwards. Heavy metal guitars and stonecold synths rule on Psalms 100 and is really obscure here. We're closing warm in the 90s with the Federation of Love that already dropped great stuff years before. Have fun!

Lovebug presents 'Close to him Pt. III' [Gospel Modern Soul Boogie]

Long overdue but just in time: Lovebug's 'Close to him Pt. III' Mix presenting gospel tunes with a boogish, soulful and funky edge. Starting deep from the ground with an enormous monster by The Gospel Truth which shows that (our) times makes you cry. Followed by a huge 4-tracker on 7" by Frederick Robinson III, selected the one with a raggaish touch and funky slaps that serve the right mood lifting you up. The Mighty Soul Seekers is an 1987 production, unexpected organic and homogenic, a bit bluesy but triggers the button to be in each other's arms and praise the one. Bembry's LP is full of strange fm-soundscapes and drum-programming which is unique the way to heaven is here described... More classical boogie is Vernon Thomas - Where do it turn away (The Lord) that seems still off the radar. The rappin' side of gospel is presented by the New Testament Youth Troop where some of the kids could do it better but the chorus and rapmaster does it. The winner of rhymes and rap is Alexander with an huuuuge outsider DIY-bedroom production that the preachers' robe is bringing to explode for joy. After this severe synth-thunderstorm we calm down again an please our mind with funky gospel soul by the Julius Brockington Ensemble and the Ladies of Manna showing us the precious name in happiness. Don, Ron & Codie satisfies all needs with great label-artwork, superb arrangement and private feeling topped off by invisibilty (HIM records, isn't that you're looking for?). The very 70's sounding Gerri Hollins is truly a gem at second glance that should not to be missed in your collection to play out for togetherness. Last not least we let the organs go crazy with Charles Summervilles implementation of a trainride to heaven. Heaven't had enough? Simply check out the other parts of mine... Sincerly, Lovebug
