Lance Ferguson is no stranger to funky compositions. Quality recordings with the Bamboos as well as his solo recordings under his Lanu moniker is a testament to that. With his "Black Feeling" compilations he continues to shine a light on obscure soulful recordings placed in the hands of little known albeit talented bands. This is evident on Antipodelica’s raw organic cover of Dexter Wansel’s "Life On Mars". A noticeable contrast to string laden Disco beat of the original, "Laden Strut" is hard driving up-tempo funk from Esperanto. "Sao Paulo" is a sunny n breezy Samba courtesy of Nova Catalina Octet. "Futebol de Bar" is a high energy Mambo with a heart pounding piano melody from The Manuel Azevedo. Sure, there’s a number of raw funk and soul compilations out there but by far "Black Feeling 3" is one of the more pulsating releases you’ll hear this year.
