Time to release this beast on 7''.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreakwater’s earth-shattering “Release The Beast” is unquestionably the standout song from their 1980 funk masterpiece LP Splashdown. It also came out as a now-hen’s-teeth-rare 7\" in the same year and when it came to putting it out as a 7\" again we just had to do it in a miniature version of the Splashdown sleeve. It’s one of the best album cover shoots of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the b-side, we’ve backed Breakwater’s biggest track with Be With’s favourite: the quietly majestic gem “Let Love In”, another winner from the same LP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePossessing a sound and a feel that was lightyears ahead of its time, “Release The Beast” is a showcase for Breakwater’s phenomenal power-funk capabilities. The energy is astounding. It rips out of the grooves on a deep funk tip, with speaker-smashing, room-shaking drums competing with distorted funk-rock guitar, bumping bass and space-age synths. But it’s not without its compellingly haunting elements too. What else can we say? It’s a genius piece of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd, yes, of course this is the tune Daft Punk sampled for their 2005 track “Robot Rock”. Let’s be blunt, they lifted the Philly act’s funk-rock vamping pretty much wholesale. But to be fair to them we wouldn’t have messed with the perfection of the original either and those Parisians shone a much-needed spotlight on an innovative band from the halcyon period of post-disco funk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the flip, “Let Love In” is a smooth, easy glide that demonstrates Breakwater’s superb, sophisticated musicianship. The tight horn section and irresistible bass make for an undeniable groove. However, it also reveals a depth to their lyricism that’s often overlooked. In these dark days, the sentiment of the opening lines is truly one to we should all take to heart:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It feels good to be friends with everyone, Walk around and the feeling’s in the air, No more hate can’t you see, This is really for me.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA feel good hit for the summer if ever there was one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemastered for this vinyl reissue, we’re delighted to present this modern soul double-sider.
