The apocalypse must be near, for just as the prophets foretold, the deepest depths of the digging world have come to light. Behold Bohannon, at his excruciatingly tough to find pinnacle, this Stop & Go album. This record has been a female dog to track down since I was a wee baby digger, occasionally surfacing in scuffy circumstances that made appreciation of the exquisite quiet grooves impossible. Wise vinyl lovin' folks will jump on this semi-legit reissue that's a completely passable (and just as importantly), clean pressing of these tunes. "Save Our Souls(1)" is slow, sexy, and sampled. "Singing a Song For My Mother(2)" is the baaaadass tune here though, who's next when Ed's flexin? "Stop & Go(3)" is a Melting Pot-esque stomp with some freakout organ on top, and the rest of the album's full of open bass tones and drum hits for those with an inclination towards digital deviousness. Full color repro of the original cover and label, as is par for the course with these vinyl-only US repressings.
