It's been a couple of years since know your funk soul brother will want to know where your 'Space Soul Mother' but it's been worth the wait for the No'West remix of the Suddenly WOW! 'out there' track!



Thankfully, we're still not all going to the moon but it seems some folks are still obsessed with 'space' and 'conquering' but back on the earthly relms of the No'West studios, here you'll find "Darren Morris’s exquisite instrumentation provides the perfect underlay for Otti Albietz’s carpet of celestial vocal layering whilst Ashley Beedle’s drum programming firmly roots the vibe in early 80s funk. Jo Wallace navigates the track through asteroid belts and beyond landing the track in a lunar landscape of pulsating disco beats" - as they say, "What’s not to love?"

You recall the WOW!'s (aka Otti Albietz and Darren Morris) released the album 'Plastic Life' (see review HERE) having entered their own dystopian space cowboy journey to where Sun Ra feared to tread and the re-tread version super synth funk fuelled with jet streams (that work particularly well on the instrumental all with some Peech Boy NYC era references).

To quote Ms. Wallace, "Suddenly WOW! will transport you to the outer corners of the musical Universe"  and whilst it'd be great to find a 12" Disco-Mix version for the DJ booth, get supporting this one - out soon!  Well, (Suddenly) WOW!
