Stevie Wonder ORIG OZ Promo LP Music of my mind NM ’72 Tamla Motown Soul Funk
Original OZ Promo LP released in 1972 on Tamla Motown Records. Cat: STMLO10083.With a new contract from Motown in his hand, Stevie Wonder released Music of My Mind, his first truly unified record and, with the exception of a single part on two songs, the work of a one-man-band. Everything he had learned about musicianship, engineering, and production during his long apprenticeship in the Snakepit at Motown Studios came together here (from the liner notes: "The sounds themselves come from inside his mind. The man is his own instrument. The instrument is an orchestra.") Music of My Mind was also the first to bear the fruits of his increased focus on Moog and Arp synthesizers, though the songs never sound synthetic, due in great part to Stevie's reliance on a parade of real instruments organic drumwork, harmonica, organs and pianos as well as his mastery of traditional song structure and his immense musical personality. The intro of the vibrant, tender "I Love Every Little Thing About You" is a perfect example, humanized with a series of lightly breathed syllables for background rhythm. And when the synthesizers do appear, it's always in the perfect context: the standout "Superwoman" really benefits from its high-frequency harmonics, and "Seems So Long" wouldn't sound quite as affectionate without the warm electronics gurgling in the background.
Tracks: Love having you around/ Superwoman/ I love every little thing about you/ Sweet little girl/ happier than the morning sun/ Girl blue/ Seems so long/ Keep on running/ Evil.
