Plug & Play
A 11 track funk album (45m 9s) — released June 23rd 2008 on One Note Records
UK funk maestros The New Mastersounds return from a year of intensive touring in the USA to deliver their sixth album, Plug & Play, featuring vocalist Dionne Charles. What you get: their trademark infectious energetic grooves, warm vintage production by guitarist Eddie Roberts, and successful forays into sub-genres like psychedelic afro-funk, CTI-era jazz-funk, souljazz and
classic soul. Though the NMS wear their musical roots on their sleeve, this ain't no retro copycat band: each track sounds unmistakably like The New Mastersounds. And in Dionne Charles they have found a vocalist who can do justice to the phenomenal soulfulness of the music.
"Their best set yet" Pete Isaac (Jelly Jazz)
"In one word: CLASS!" Niccolo Pozzoli (Record Kicks, Milan)
"Love it!" Jeff Krasno (Velour Records USA)
"This (King Comforter) drips with soul, down-home style. The NMS have lost none of their knack for hitting you where is hurts:- in a good way! Superb!" (The Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show, BBC 6Music)
