JUNEI' - Let's Ride B/w You Must Go On - Clear Green - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Willie InchJuneiInch Lee spent the first half of the 1970s playing guitar with his older brother Robert Lee in the self-contained band Lost Weekend, recording a handful of singles and a still unreleased LP. The back half of the decade was spent touring with Albert King, Curtis Mayfield, and The Emotions, before returning home to Gary, Indiana, to focus on his own sound. In 1985, JUNEI's girlfriend brought home a suite of Fostex home studio gear, including a 12 channel board, 8-track tape machine, and a halftrack for mix downs. He added a Yamaha drum machine and a Maestro echoplex and started his solo project.InchThe only artists I listened to was Hendrix and Santana,Inch Junei said. The emissions coming from his home studio were entirely different, however, as InchLet's RideInch channels the Euro sensibilities of Kraftwerk or Italo over virtuosic guitar. InchI just didn't want to sound like anyone else,Inch he continued. InchLet's RideInch achieved that differentiation, and managed to anticipate Chicago house by a few years. Pressed in minuscule numbers in 1987 on Pharaohs Records, the 45 never connected with the nearby scenes in Chicago and Detroit where it might have found purchase in fertile soils. Decades later InchLet's RideInch found new life as the bed for KAYTRANADA's InchScared To Death,Inch and the track has slowly worked it's way through the algorithm to a new generation of vapor huffers. InchI am all for experimentation, trying new things, etc,Inch Junei said. InchKaytranada is a visionary and a talented producer. He has my respect.
