i bought the vinyl back then and rediscovered it some months ago, when i bought a 3 cd box with 3 albums with the incredible amnesia express band. these guys knew how to groove funky!
moving target is a joy from start to end and is for me his best from this period, would be nice to get a decent live recording from this time.
it is mostly jazz funk and 2 reggae inspired tunes, which also have a funky vibe.
great, clear production.
each of the musicians are top notch, listen to the bass alone put a smile on me.
gil scott heron was like the malcom x of the music, a spokesman for black people in the us, but also as a white one can tune in to his critics of us politics.
compare that with blingbling rappers...
he is missed very much.
masterpiece. -
A real American hero, too bad we don't learn about Gil Scott-Heron in our History classes, hell Youtube censors his music. Apparently is has too much meaning for most people. His music always packs a powerful punch. Truly some golden discography.
