NATURE SOUNDSから1998年のマイナーゴスペル・ソウル。キング・オブ・ディガーKONも 絶賛する再発。 ストックしました。
Founded by ordained bishop Larry H. Jordan and his brother-in-law Frank Tinsley in the early 1980s, Enlightment was among the first groups to fuse modern R&B production with gospel themes. After providing the group’s ultra-rare debut album Faith Is The Key with a proper release, Nature Sounds is now making another lost classic from Enlightment available to the world. “Agape Love” was a 1988 promo-only 12” single pressed in anticipation of a second album, which unfortunately never came to fruition. Previously only available in extremely limited promotional quantities, “Agape Love” has been re-pressed off the original vinyl parts and is now hitting record shelves worldwide. “This is well-deserved reissue,” says famed DJ and record collector Kon, who calls the record “a lost gem that slipped through the cracks of obscurity.”
84年にアルバムを一枚リリース、そのアルバムを再発したNATURE SOUNDSからさらなる再発。幻に終わった2NDアルバムのプロもリリースだった88年の12インチ。ゴスペル、ブギーと80s電子音楽、 スタジオワークの面白さも堪能できるモダン・ファンクの魅力。 (サイトウ)
