This is a triple play of Strut: Dante curated it and James reviewed it for my site: http://soul-sides.com/2012/04/the-soul-of-drum-machines-the-personal-space-anthology/
I'm feeling this comp a lot.

I'd love for them to do a follow up that continued into the 80s and beyond. Although that might be stepping out of Numero territory.
Ok, this did make me laugh. #noshots
I do not at all know what you meant by this, but it made me laugh, for reasons I don't understand.
Thes: I was actually chatting with someone about this comp who used that exact term for the style of music here.
Mustache soul lives!
Okem: I think Chocolate Industries is behind the comp; Numero is helping with distro maybe?
Plaese to elabortate!
Mixtape I did in i think 2006 when there was really no classification for this genre. Bedroom and low impact studio drum machine stuff as a response to modern and boogie. alternate genre title I had were "i think I can" soul.
Guitar Red, Otis G, etc all on it.
Was wrking on a part two a few years ago but got sidetracked, have some real bizzarro heat stacked up. Oliver, you should hear this stuff from this label in Carson in this vein. Bedroom Black Power Mustache to the 10th degree.

Feel my mustache:
I seem to remember you posted it up and then it quickly and mysteriously disappeared. I grabbed it
Some of the material might overlap between Thes's mix and Dante's comp, but the driving sensibilities behind the two--both in the initial creation and in the latter-day curation--are clearly pretty different.
My mix had plenty of run of the mill modern stuff ala come back lover, I was more focused in trying to keep the groove going. I'm disappointed I didn't follow it off with the stuff I turned up after that but lets face it - nothing I would do could ever touch the depth and knowledge DC brings to the table. That's my dude and I'm happy this comp is highlighting this stuff!
Awesome review too James. It's great to see this happening.
can't wait to scoop this compilation
Id like a ballpark timeline for this shit pleez!
this is some real curatorial shit.
Moustache soul?
To me, Moustache has a bugged out quality that you can only get from minimal talent, finances and a whole lot of heart.
As far as that T Dyson goes, that side of the 45 is completely pedestrian when compared with the flip side, a slow manic 'stache with bizarro chord progressions. I can post it up later if anyone is interested.
Interested. I also wonder if this is going to be an example of atlantic tastes differing - I don't think there's anything pedestrian about that T Dyson, it's beautiful. But then I haven't heard the flip yet...
I got to dig out my mustache box from a fey years ago and find that Dyson 45, I'll try and rip the b side today.

I cut it off before the breakdown and the part I sampled. Can't give everyDAMNthing away!
But FWIW, I find this side a) way more musically interested and emotionally vested, b) more haunting and ambitious.The a-side has the chord progression of an 80's Diet Coke commercial to me. But i'm irrationally critical. It really is a dope 45.
