1 Guitarist/keyboardist James Mason was a member of Roy Ayers' legendary late-'70s jazz-funk band, making his most prominent appearance on the 1977 LP Lifeline and its Mason showcase cut "Running Away." That same year, Mason recorded his debut solo album, Rhythm of Life, for the tiny New York independent label Chiaroscuro. It went out of print in an extremely short time, and Mason never recorded another one, pretty much disappearing from sight. However by the '90s, Rhythm of Life had attained near-Holy Grail status among acid jazz enthusiasts, partly because of its rarity and partly because its music -- even more rooted in funk than Ayers' -- seemed to perfectly epitomize what the rare-groove revival was all about. Finally, in 1999, England's Soul Brother Records acquired the rights to the master tapes and reissued Rhythm of Life on CD, allowing the album to claim its rightful status as a lost classic.

4 indie-folk singer from Richmond, Virginia
In 2003, James wrote and recorded a solo album entitled Carnival Sky under the label Sonoface Records. Several tracks on this record feature James’ brother, Christian Mason. On these collaborative tracks, both brothers were surprised to find that they had penned a unique and striking sound. With two finger-picked acoustic guitars playing in unison, the brothers created an arresting, acoustic wall of sound. The record drew praise from places as far away as Luxembourg and Greece for its stripped-down acoustic ballads, redolent of L.A. troubadour Elliott Smith.

All around me
I am safe
Sweet power your embrace
Leave me wanting another taste
Of your sweet power, your embrace
Now the feeling
Here again
Sweet, sweet power your embrace
All around me
I am safe
Sweet power, your embrace
Leave me wanting another taste
Of your sweet power, your embrace
Now the feeling

Sweet, sweet power, your embrace
All around me
I am safe
Sweet power your embrace
Leave me wanting another taste
Of your sweet power, your embrace
Now the feeling

Sweet, sweet power your embrace
All around me
I am safe
Sweet power, your embrace
Leave me wanting another taste
Of your sweet power, your embrace
Now the feeling
Here again
Sweet, sweet power, your embrace

I bought this bit of vinyl back in the day for thirty quid in the nineties, every tune on it is awesome; virtually unique these days

This brings me soooooo much pleasant memories!! I was in my teens in the 80s when this came out. My brother was a dancer at many of the London jazz funk soul clubs, and he used to blast this record out, whilst practising his moves in the mirror. So happy to find it again.

I was on that scene Wicked
