Brian Bennett ‎– Voyage (A Journey Into Discoid Funk).

Ever since joining The Shadows in 1961, London-born 
drummer and percussionist Brian Bennett has been an 
institution on the UK’s music scene. After leaving The 
Shads, he embarked on a fascinating solo career carving 
a unique role as a arranger, conductor and record 
producer, composer for film and TV.

In 1978, inspired by the Disco boom, and particularly the 
space age Disco records emanating from the continent, 
Brian recorded what he described as “A Journey Into 
Discoid Funk”. Housed in a striking, colourful sleeve 
depicting – appropriately enough – a spaceship, VOYAGE 
was a departure for Bennett, serving up infectious, 
cosmic disco/jazz/funk with a nod towards his earlier, 
funky library work.

Fast forward to the noughties, when DJs, crate diggers 
and hip-hop artists are busy sampling old funk and disco 
records, a new generation discovered VOYAGE. These 
new fans of the LP had no knowledge of Brian’s past 
pedigree: they just heard funky breaks and beats, 
ensuring original copies of VOYAGE are now valuable.

Released with Brian’s blessing and overseen by his 
musician/composer son Warren, this 2-CD edition of 
VOYAGE boasts the addition of previously unissued 
working mixes of the album, plus the rare 7” edits from 
the single ‘Pendulum Force’.

Key track ‘Solstice’ has been sampled by around 60 
different artists, including Kanye West, Nas, Madlib. 
Other tracks from the album to have been sampled 
include ‘Ocean Glide’ and ‘Chain Reaction’.
