 Rating: - Amazing!! Too groovy for words!As stated in a previous review, a very under rated album! Any one who sits back and listens to this album will not be disappointed with the totally sensual jazzy sax, the up beat drums, the strange ambient sounds dotted with the faultless voice of Marvin Gaye. A pure journey into sound due to the variety of moods this album will encapsulate!! Enjoy this rare little masterpiece! Rating: - Proof of his geniusIf you were to expect smooth love songs or message music, you'd be disappointed. "Trouble Man" is a funky, jazz tinged masterpiece, mainly instrumental, with each track running into the next. Where there are lyrics, they do seem to echo some of MGs own troubled soul and some see this album as autobiographical. While the album rewards a listen all through, there are tracks which stand alone - the walking blues rhythym of the opener, the very funky "T plays it cool" and, of course, the title track. As a demonstration of the genius that was Marvin, chronologically, this album sits between "Whats Going On" and "Lets Get It On", and there can have been few artists who have produced 3 succesive albums of such quality, let ... Read More: Rating: - Perhaps one of Marv�s Best?The bubbling synth driven funk of 'T Plays it Cool' is pure compelling groove. Given that this is a soundtrack you get some pretty odd passages too, like the spooky atmospherics and lush orchestrations of 'Poor Abbey Walsh'. And poor old Mr T! The lovable rogue, you get the feeling Gaye cast himself in this role as a means of getting 'inside' the character and thereby creating a more plausible album. Like Curtis Mayfield's Superfly, Trouble Man stands proud as a complete musical entity long after the film has disappeared, barely remembered. The strange patchworks of textures throughout are well arranged and flawlessly executed, and lend the album its filmic 'mean-streets' vibe. 'Theme From Trouble Man' is a nice lush orchestral ... Read More: Rating: - Absolute ClassicIf you have not got it, then get it, now !!! This very under-rated recording is a masterpiece from start to finish. The title track is an absolute knock out. The timeless 'T Plays It Cool' is one of the best grooves around, the drumming is flawless. Marvin sings sparingly on this album, but when he does it's heaven. I think he hits one of his best notes of all time here. The album is a soul/funk/jazz fusion dripping in strings, piano, and moog. Trevor Lawrence contributes throughout with his brilliant Alto, Tenor & Baritone Sax which weaves around the rhythms. Forget the film, everything you need is here. Marvin wrote it all himself, produced every track , as well as playing all the keyboards, singing lead & backing ... Read More: Rating:  - When Soundtracks Outlast FlicksTo all those who only know Marvin Gaye for his metaphysically sexy voice on cuts like "Let's Get it on" or "Sexual Healing" - here comes a record where the man himself doesn't actually sing that much. "Trouble Man" is one of the better Blaxpoitation soundtracks; most of it is instrumental, that is a soulful blend of wailing guitars and lamenting horns. Yes, what you get here is some of that rather melancholy soul, but then again, isn't this where Marvin excels? As a matter of fact, this album has a similar mood to "What's Going on", Gaye's most heartfelt offering and one of the best records ever. "Trouble Man" definitely is a good listen; like with most soundtracks of its kind, it doesn't really matter whether you've seen the movie or not - if you think the ... Read More: |
