Olε Børud - Kεεp Movin' (2011)

Better known as lead guitarist for Norwegian prog. metal mainstays Extol and dozens of other lesser known acts, Ole spends his personal solo-project time recording a plethora of sumptuous material that comes across as a combination between Stevie Wonder, late 70's/early 80's westcoast yacht rock and modern Jamiroquai.

Moving on (literally), these songs come in two flavors: funky and mid-tempo. Whichever your poison though, it all goes down smoother than a slurpee on a boiling August day....though you might want to get set your Christ-radar on high here, because some of that comes through here.

Yummmmmmmmm in any case.

Roby Duke - Come Let Us Reason (1984)

Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) didn't all used to be the wannabe alt. rock shitstorm people know it as today on radio: there was a time when pop sensibility, jazz-rock, funky R&B and the westcoast goodness of groups like Steely Dan and America were just as prominent in the minds of the devoted as Christ himself, and that proficiency of craft shows off in spades in this near-perfect pop release from CCM oldtimer Roby Duke.

Orchestral, embellished as fuck, and genuinely moving, enjoy another jazzy pop classic from moi.
