Knights Of Fantasy

Limited 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. On Knights Of Fantasy (1979), Eumir Deodato once again concocted his own ineffable brew of fusion and funky disco. Four-to-the-floor beats, funky percussion and heavy synths make for an album that seemingly has an endless groove going. The b-side opens with three-part piece called 'Bachmania', which includes an adaptation of Bach's 'Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring', in a very funky way of course. Fun fact: the list of used synths include a slew of analog classic machines like a Fender Rhodes Suitcase 88 Piano, Mini-Moog, ARP Pro-Soloist, ARP Omni, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, Maxi-Korg, Hohner Clavinet and a Polymoog. Essential jazz funk from the disco era.
