Reflections of a Soul Dimension

Released

Since his days in the early 90s leading Liverpool freakbeat obsessives The Stairs, Edgar Jones has mined his own peculiar seam of retromania (2005’s dusty jazzman pastiche Soothing Music For Straycats is something of an unsung gem). His seventh solo album, Reflections of a Soul Dimension, found Jones imagining himself within an early 60s songwriting powerhouse located somewhere between New York’s Brill Building and the offices of Motown in downtown Detroit, the likes of “What’s The Matter Baby”’s Bacharach and David-esque swish and Northern Soul-powered “The Walls Came Tumbling Down” coming couched in a note-perfect soul setting. Following a career of under-the-radar cult hero status, it was perhaps Jones most fully realised iteration yet.
