Light of the World, the 1979 debut album, heralded the dawn of UK jazz funk. It features a sultry groove rooted in African-Caribbean rhythms and an explosive soulful horn section. Drawing on American jazz funk, it infused the urban sophistication and party sensibility of London, making it a historic work that spearheaded the later Brit-funk movement. Packed with killer tracks that connect straight to the dance floor, this masterpiece debut album is also being reevaluated in the context of rare groove and Balearic music.
