Album Notes
Personnel includes: India, James Ingram, Patti Austin, Stephanie Mills, Roy Ayers, Luis Salinas, Billie.
After a little over ten years among the upper echelons of the remix world, Masters At Work return with their second "proper" album (not counting all the mix and party albums they produced in the meantime). Utilizing a serious flair for Latin-tinged dance and disco, OUR TIME IS COMING lays down plenty of funk, soul, and house tracks. Among the best are the insistent title track, which features the legendary Roy Ayers on vibes, "Pienso En Ti" where the mind-boggling percussion of Luisito Qunitero almost (but not quite) manages to overpower Luis Salinas' stellar guitar work, and "Backfired," where a tight, infinitely flexible backing groove lays the groundwork for India's full-throttle vocal workout.
If all disco had actually been this good in the 1970s, everyone would still have their flares and platforms. Also of special note is "Work," a heavy-duty dancehall monster built around the kind of double-entendre lyrics that would make even a hardened bluesman blush. While fans may hope that next time the Masters take a little less time coming up with a follow-up, the wait is certainly justified when the music is of this caliber.
Industry Reviews
...Conventional, song-oriented, with its Salsoul strings, emoting divas and undulating bass lines counter-balanced by tributes to Fela Kuti and guest spots from Roy Ayers and James Ingram...
