Eddie Roberts & The Fire Eaters - Burn!
(CD/LP/Digital) Légère Recordings LEGO032, 2011-06-07

When in touring and recording in Spain with his band The New Mastersounds, guitarist Eddie Roberts joined forces with The Sweet Vandals' rhythm section, adding Chip Wickham's (Nightmares On Wax, Rae & Christian, The Pharcyde) world-class flute and Taz Modi's funktastic organ from Leeds/UK, and he sensed that this could be the beginning of something special. Burn! is the proof that his feelings were true. The Fire Eaters, as the combo was called, recorded the album produced by Eddie Roberts himself in 2010, completed 12 tracks including a good number of originals as well as their versions of classic acid jazz & soul tunes like I Believe In Miracles, the Lope Song or Latona, travelling way back to the times when jazz had soul and there was freedom in the rhythm.

The Sound Stylistics - Greasin The Wheels
(CD) P-Vine Japan, 2009-06-02 / (CD/12") Freestyle Records FSRCD065/FSRLP065, 2009-07-27

Stylistics are back! 2 years on since the release of The Sound Stylistics' Play Deep Funk which one of the most sought after and best selling Freestyle albums ever, the band have returned with Greasin' The Wheels. This absolute killer follow up features the same line up plus very special guests such as Jan Kincaid (Brand New Heavies), Snowboy and guitarist Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds). The band have fused all their favourite influences together throughout this album, from film soundtracks, latin jazz to psychedelic soul to great effect. The highlights include the opening track Tie One On which is a nod to the soul jazz sound of the Prestige label circa late 60's, pumping drums sit underneath a crisp, irresistible horn riff that guitarist Al Cherry rides with an inimitable solo rooted in the style of legends like Cornell Dupree and Phil Upchurch and it's pure dance floor magic.
