Tiff’s Joints returns with their fourth release in the form of three heavily syncopated and harmonically explorative heaters from Hazards of Prophecy. Kicking things off with “Percussion Concussion”, Hazards of Prophecy lay down luscious chords, a wriggling bassline and carefully spliced vocal chops over a bedrock of interlocking rhythms and whistles in what can only be described as a floaty “Bruklearic” roller. The A2, “Minnie & Marcos”, takes things up a gear and brings the listener on a Rhodes fuelled odyssey, swinging through a variety of dynamically and sonically versatile sections as it pulls and pushes limbs across the dancefloor. Finally, “Love & Rum” bring things to a climax with majestic pads, piercing synth runs and a bubbling rhythm section, while soothingly lowering the listener back down to earth.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
