I would have thought that most of you would be already well aquainted with Phil Hooton. However if not, then let me highly recommend the epic proportions of ‘Revelations’ which total over eleven minutes by way of introduction. Its the cool jazzy reflections which draw you in as the arrangement builds with layers of chords and sublime Trumpet. But then its also the sheer emotion transmitted that guarantee its pride of place on the always impressive Phuture Sole schedule. ‘Afro-Funk’ then does very much what it says on the label with its rousing Sax lifting the energy levels alongside vocal snippets and irresisable rhythms. Choice.
