MOVEMENTS

VA - Movements Vol. 01 - Vol. 10 (10 x CD's)

Movements includes an exciting range of Rare Grooves from the 1960s and '70s.  The 'Movements' saga started in 2005 by music maven Tobias Kirmayer in association with a fellow German label, 'Perfect Toy'. His goal was - and still is - to discover, study, and properly represent great black american music that is at risk of being lost or forgotten. Today, his illustrious label Tramp Records, has proudly released 10 volumes of this essential series. Though the track listings still contains amazing music you may never hear elsewhere, the series has matured since its first volume. The track selection has become more open minded, compiling ballads and soul-jazz tunes, even proto-disco in addition to the rare funk Tramp fans expect. Tracks are selected in chronological order so that the listener may get an impression of the development of of the art form from jazz to rhythm and blues to rock & roll to soul and of course, funk.

As the website states: "we ain't going for bootlegs," so, whenever possible, Tramp sought out and was granted permission to release each track from the original musicians who are very often in their late seventies now. He took that opportunity to interview them about their careers, their groups, and the recording sessions from which these gems arose. The artists' stories are meticulously published in extensive liner notes which are printed in the included full-color booklet. Their own words illuminate the colorful backstory behind each track.  Participate in the preservation and celebration of the history of great Black American music.

One of the best Reissue labels on funk at the moment. While others keep hunting down tons of already heard funk classics, Mr Kimayer has released the ultimate killer funk rarities never heard of non-stop since the first 45, and he shows no signs of letting the glow fade. He has close contact with The Poets Of Rhythm and he puts unreleased and never-heard-before material on wax. Not only the Poets own music but he manage to find and dust of old forgotten master-tapes from the 70's. Don't ask me how he does it or how he found them, but he knows what we want and delivers them profoundly on high quality pressings. Releasing Bahama Soul Stew was just the most magnificent he has done. Highly recommended. (Discogs)

Lovers of funk and soul music will certainly enjoy this selection despite the fact that have probably never heard of most the featured artists. Fans of James Brown should have this album in their collection.
