The skin of my face has just melted. Fuck all that dumb shit yall talmbout. This must be like what you see after you eat the poisonous sequoia bark lichens and go tripping off in the woods somewhere. Fuck it, bro.

Shit is fire.
Been listening to that shit since the womb.
And The Futures - Past, Present, and The Futures on Philadelphia International
And some tea, a spliff, and the headphones are hittin quite nice right about now.
i listen to Hot Buttered Soul at least twice a week. i never tire of this, my favorite album.
Saw mr Hayes in Amsterdam a few years back and he played the album from front to back.
There is no excuse not to own this masterpiece.
hell, buy one for your moms.
yes and
yes.
This and "To Be Continued" - in fact, especially "To Be Continued" - are two of my favourite records of all time. It's difficult to imagine what they must have sounded like at the time of release. Long, dark, introspective, paranoid, tripped-out, prog-soul excursions on MOR pop standards - how do you sit down, like Ike must have done, and figure out that, yeah, this is what the game's been missing? Even Norman Whitfield and Barry White didn't really catch on, or catch up, until a couple of years later. Something that comes up on here from time to time is how people sometimes obsess over uber-raer regional funk obscurities of the kind endorsed by Shadow or Keb Darge, yet are barely familiar with records like these.
I remember having a
Listening to Cowboy Movie as I write. Not a wrong note on the entire album. Yes, masterpiece.
Recently recommended to me, two people I know called it a "masterpiece", picked one up, the jury's still out.
SONIC
There are only a handful of records that I would call masterpieces but, for me at least, this is one. Always feels kind of like a winter/autumn record you listen to when the rain is streaming down the window but all I can add is that it's a grower.
After who knows how many listens, I still get heart palpitations from this record. Masterpiece, monster, no excuse not to own it, buy it for your mama - yes yes yes yes - all of the above.
Not that I ever doubt it, but this is the kind of thing that re-affirms why SoulOnIce rules.

I once ate mmescaline and listened to this album on repeat for about 8 hours. On headphones it will melt your whole house.
Hahaha! My copy of the remastered Spoon SACD joint is an arm's length away from me as I type. I played it in the office yesterday to widesperead bewilderment, which was nothing compared to the response Tago Mago usually gets. "Can you please take this horrible drug music off, for God's sakes?"
This deserves a Deluxe version. New linear notes/outtakes/photos/etc.
ALL
SORRY - THE OLDER I GET THE LESS
Buckingham kills it
I also have very strong memories of the 1972 Olympics, after the whole hostage thing when they killed the Israeli athletes they were doing a re-cap thing on TV and using some of "Ike's Mood" as the background music. I associated that song with this image for a long time:

I was a young teen. I used to babysit at a house that had these records and Black Moses. I used to listen to them trying to understand them. They did not sound big Black bald headed chained out messiah music to me. I was totally baffled.
None of my friends had these.
