STOP HOLDING BACK


Surface started out on the Cayre brothers sometimes excellent Salsoul Records label. The group consisted of Bernard Jackson, David Conley and David Townsend. This is a burner from a 12" they released in the early 80's that's been killing me for the last little while. Towards the end of the decade they veered into a smoother / R & B style in an effort to gain a mainstream audience. However, it is their "post-disco" era tracks which really floor me.

That's rad. Really minimal, but it sure sounds smooth. The flute at around the 6:00 mark is incredible, such a great touch to an already great song.
