Towering audio annalists Numero run a number on the rich but loosely defined trove that is 1970s spiritual soul - in their happily nonplussed words, "what is "spiritual soul" anyway?" - a discarnate sound born of caning congas, Rhodes rolls and jazz-funk blends, against gospel-soul amid Civil Rights and a Black-to-the-land backplates. This comp brings ten rare grooves, including Kalima's moody boogie 'Where Is The Sunshine,' Fathers Children's early dub-leaning 'Linda Movement,' Lenny White's mellow 'Sweet Dreamer' from the Bitches Brew era, and Spunk's Balearic rainstick-infused r&b 'La Bimini.' Rooted in a time when fixtures such as Rotary Connection, Alice Coltrane, and Roy Ayers pushed well out beyond Top 40 and commercial folkways.
