Quantic Soul Orchestra

Title: Pushin' On
Label: Ubiquity
Genre: Funk/Soul/Downtempo
Format: CD

This 2nd album from Quantic’s live band Quantic Soul Orchestra, the 1st to be domestically released on Ubiquity, follows hot on the heels of the widely acclaimed Quantic Mishaps Happening album.

"Putting something back" is Will Holland’s reason for starting The Quantic Soul Orchestra.  After releasing electronic/studio-based albums as Quantic he wanted to work on a strictly live project, to “put the funk back in it”, and to pay homage to a genre that continues to heavily influence his releases.  QSO is his chance to record and produce an album with creative and like minded musicians.  The Orchestra make killer funk with enough bottom-end to burn any dance floor, and the album features several tracks with the super powerful vocals of Alice Russell.

Drop any idea that this may be retro indulgence, QSO tracks are rough, raw, and real, flaunting a deep funk sound that is buoyed by great songs, heavy bass lines, cracking drums, and a full horn section.  From the driving “Pushin’ On”, the Latin-tinged version of “Feelin’ Good”, Brazilian-influenced “Paintings and Journeys”, and the infectious “Hold On Tight” this is essential listening.  “Get A Move On” was recorded especially for Mr Scruff, a big Quantic fan.
