Larkin Arnold, former CBS Records (Sony Music) senior executive VP, convinced Marvin Gaye to leave his flat in Belgium and sign with Columbia Records; the result would become the soul singer's last album before his untimely death. Of all his number one songs, this album's first release, "Sexual Healing," became his longest running number one single on the Billboard R&B charts (ten straight weeks). With the exception of the guitar, the Washington, D.C. native performed every instrument on this classic hit. Gaye concocted a pioneering percussive sound that was balladic in taste but stimulating in feel. As this project may not be an absolute erotic expression or a socially challenging plea from Gaye like on some of his previous albums, nonetheless, Midnight Love is a classic Marvin Gaye effort. In addition to this project thriving with Gaye's enthusiastic spirit, it has his harmonious background vocals, his stunning vocal arrangements and his creative penmanship, as he wrote all the selections. ~ Craig Lytle, All Music Guide

Positif Mr. Oizo |
| While a lot of the recent Ed Banger releases, Justice aside, seem to scraping the barrel of electro, Mr Oizo continues to produce interesting and challenging dance music. Positif is no exception, a jarring monster of a track that is currently receiving plays from a number of electro luminaries. Erol Alkan featured the track in his A-Z on Rob Da Bank. The stop start samples and drum beats give way to a bass line that is sure to cause seizures when reverberating from any club's speakers. While for some people Mr. Oizo may never shake off "that advert", those who continue to keep up with his output are sure to carry on enjoying one of France's finest exponents of electronic music. | |
