Lumberjack Soul 2. The one you've been waiting for. It's been awhile but the life I've lived since the first one is a part of this music right here. The time, the journey, home building, the move, family, nature, the love, the vibes. Now available for you to enjoy.Thank you to everyone who has been involved in this project and all who will listen to it. It was recorded over the course of many years and finalized before all we are going through today. Although it does not to directly address the problems we collectively face, may it be a comforting moment in the midst of it all for you. It has been for me. I have love for all cultures and varieties of people.I want nothing more than for you, us, and future generations to live in the best world possible. - miles

Originally released in 1976 ‘See The Light’ was Eddie Russ’ 2nd album and has been issued here with superb sound quality. ‘Zaius’ is a magical track that has retained its popularity and one of the genre’s best ever track – a jazz dancer’s delight! The uptempo cover of EWF ‘See The light’ really kicks and ‘Poko Nose’ is another funk groove oriented track, whilst ‘Stop It now’ is a disco dancer. Classic, essential Jazz Funk!

The closing album in this MPS box set continues George Duke’s tendency to couple his fusion world with accessible R&B songs. Once again he shows a discernable vocal development. In Tryin’ And Cryin the Californian together with rock singer Napoleon Brock overlay multiple vocal tracks. On Seeing You Duke lays on a glaze of soulful tenderness, whereas What The… is 30 seconds of frivolous funning around. Back to Where We Never Left is a witty gem in which Duke bundles his pool of synthesizers into a united groove, whereas I C’n Hear That shows off synth and marimba tonal colors in dialogue, with the bass riffing on the bottom. The album flows into the final bend carrying along the sonorous richness of Brazil. After the Love plays with the languorous erotic colors of the tropics, whereas all the band members are allowed to shine on the epic circa ten minute title track with its hot samba flair: the rhythm section with "Ndugu", Al Johnson, and Airto Moreira’s percussion arsenal, Daryl Stuermer with his rock interludes on guitar, and Duke himself with inspired virtuosity on all sorts of synths and keyboards.
