Blue-green \u201cOcean spray\u201d vinyl.<\/p>\n
Motown\u2019s L.A.-based Mowest label lasted less than two years, but managed in that short time to release some of the most adventurous music the company ever put out. And probably the most intrepid\u2014and nowadays, adored\u2014Mowest release of them all was the 1972 self-titled release from Odyssey. This one-off brought elite West Coast sessionmen like Wrecking Crew mainstay Don Peake, one-time Chicago member Donnie Dacus, and arranger\/orchestrator extraordinaire Gene Page together with a bunch of West Coast hippie rockers (as Peake says, “We were invited to lunch, introduced to some nice people and told we were going to form a band”). The happy result was a record that has appeared on more deejay turntables than you can count, a one-of-a-kind blend of funky Motown bottom with a spacy sensibility and sound that fits right in next to, say, the latest Khruangbin album on your psychedelic chill playlist even as it activates your 5th Dimension sunshine pop endorphins. The single \u201cOur Lives Are Shaped by What We Love\u201d is probably the pick to click, but the whole album is a total vibe. We\u2019re reissuing Odyssey for the first time ever in the U.S. (the Japanese have long been all over this album) in blue-green \u201cocean spray\u201d vinyl, complete with original album art including the lyric insert. Remastered for the format by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, and pressed at Gotta Groove Records for superior sound. A must!<\/p>\n
