10-piece Cali funk outfit Orgone came out of left field a few years back with a blazing cover of "Funky Nassau(1)," and they haven't let up since. Their pair of singles on Ubiquity - "I Get Lifted(2)" and "Duck & Cover(3)" -...   expand review  are tough to keep in stock here at das Lab, so it appears you guys are already up on their tight, soulful sound. All I have to say is... this full length does not disappoint. Including those already-tested covers, plus a sultry female vocal'd version of Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing(4)," the Orgone guys (and gal) show a reverence for the 70s grooves that directly influence their sound. But the dozen or so original compositions here speak even more loudly toward their skills: the elastic AM soul of "It's What You Do(5)" and extended space synth jam "Hambone(6)" seem to say Orgone aren't just funk revivalists, but gifted songwriters born in the wrong decade. Very impressive stuff. 17 tracks; 76 minutes. Recommended. -Larri Byrd
