Description:
This CD edition brings together key works from Dexter Wansel's groundbreaking late-70s catalogue, including the visionary "Life On Mars", the socially aware "What The World Is Coming To" and further material that showcases his fusion of funk, soul, jazz and early electronic sounds. The collection highlights Wansel's role as one of the architects of the classic Philadelphia sound, combining lush orchestrations, tight rhythm sections and cosmic synthesizer textures into a style that has remained influential for decades. Listeners can expect a journey from deep, atmospheric instrumentals to sophisticated vocal tracks, all marked by strong melodies and refined arrangements. The CD format offers convenient, high-quality listening, making this a perfect way to rediscover or explore Wansel's work in a focused, album-oriented context. The track selection underlines both his experimental side and his gift for memorable, soulful grooves, resulting in a cohesive, immersive listening experience that still sounds fresh and contemporary.
Dexter Wansel is a composer, producer, arranger, keyboardist and synthesizer pioneer closely associated with the golden era of Philadelphia soul. He worked behind the scenes on numerous classic recordings and is especially admired for his space-themed, futuristic funk albums, which have been sampled and celebrated by later generations of artists. His blend of orchestral elegance, tight funk rhythms and early analog synth work has earned him enduring respect among soul, funk and jazz-fusion listeners.
The CD is released by Beat Goes On Records, a reissue label known for carefully curated catalog titles, often focusing on classic, sometimes overlooked albums from soul, funk, rock and related genres. The label typically emphasizes good sound quality and informative presentation for collectors and new listeners alike, helping keep important recordings available in physical form. With this release, Beat Goes On Records underlines its commitment to preserving influential catalogue music and making it accessible to a wider audience.
