Future Now
Released in our Jazz & Funk Classics series, <b>Future Now</b> was Pleasure's penultimate album for Fantasy Records. It saw the band experimenting with a new sci-fi influenced funk sound and gave them their biggest US hit <i>Glide</i>. The jazz funk influence of their mentor, ex-Crusader Wayne Henderson, who discovered them and took them to Fantasy is much less on this album, it being the first the Portland, Oregon funksters produced themselves. On <i>Glide</i>, </i>Space Is The Place</i> and the title track they created a slick contemporary sound. New notes on the album by Dean Rudland.
