Dexter Wansel – Life On Mars (Vinyl)
Dexter Wansel’s music is pure genius, a jazz/funk/soul concoction sure to please the musical senses.
Life On Mars is a fantastic bit of space age funk and easily the best album that Dexter Wansel ever did! The record’s a sublime blend of Wansel’s Philly grooving sensibility, with some of the more keyboard-oriented funk that was coming out of the Herbie Hancock camp during the mid 70s and the result is a tight batch of crossover tracks that work well both as jazz funk groovers, and as smoother modern soul tracks.
Includes the version of “Theme From the Planets” with the much sampled breakbeat at the beginning plus lots of other nice ones, including “Life On Mars”, “Rings Of Saturn”, and “Stargazer”.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
