Orgone

Those who view contemporary R&B as an exclusively commercial medium should check this album out. Compiled by Cali indie label Ubiquity, Rewind features a broadly eclectic mix of acts. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings look to the past to find the keys to soul's future, while Sa-Ra Creative Partners mingle Stevie Wonder's soul with hip-hop's strut. The Platinum Pied Pipers track, "The Look of Love," milks the soul out of robo-powered Detroit techno.
