Released exclusively in the UK, Silver Vibrations includes four tracks from \u003cem\u003eLots Of Love\u003c\/em\u003e with the addition of four brand new exclusive songs (and decidedly better artwork). With jazz-funk hysteria in full swing, young British dancers and DJs couldn’t get enough of \u003cstrong\u003eAyers\u003c\/strong\u003e’ catchy hooks, minor key chords, hard-hitting beats, synthesizer licks and sophisticated vibraphone lines; I can’t think of many other artists with decades of real life jazz experience who transitioned into making highly-functional disco records as seamlessly as \u003cstrong\u003eAyers\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is best reflected in a track like “Keep On Movin,” which despite its undeniable groove, contains plenty of advanced musical modulations and other jazz shit I don’t completely understand. The full 7+ minute version of “Chicago” (slicker and funkier than any song ever written about, or recorded in, the Windy City before or since) starts the record off with the bar set enormously high. Roy’s got love for Chocolate City too, slipping into something a little more comfortable for the grown \u0026amp; sexy “D.C.
