The New Mastersounds - 102 Percent (2007)



102% is the fifth long-player from international underground funk heroes The New Mastersounds. Featuring special guest sax & flute player, Rob Lavers, the album delivers the band's trademark dirty funk sound in spades, along with sprinklings of soul-jazz, breaks and beats, laid-back hip-hop, and even psychedelic blues-rock. No vocals, just the guys tearing it up and doing what they do best, under the supervision of prolific hawk-eared guitarist-producer Eddie Roberts.It's all their own work apart from one tune - an insane version of the Roots Manuva hit Witness, done out with chicken-scratch guitar, super heavy bass, screaming Hammond and slamming drums.
