{"product_id":"niles-wilbur-thrust-too","title":"Niles, Wilbur - Thrust Too |","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter Thrust, Niles pursued a quiet solo career — both under his own name and with a backing band, also called Thrust. The guitarist’s later works, like Liftoff, Lunar and Re-Entry, are undoubtedly more technically accomplished, with stronger musicians. Today, Niles is understandably far more apt to talk about those, and they fill out the lion’s share of his life’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStill, whether due to the jitters, the unorthodox setting, or the mid-fidelity sound which would later become not only fashionable, but desirable, Thrust — and its sequel, Thrust Too — possess an irreplaceable charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Thrust Too loses in atmosphere, it makes up for in deep grooves, like on “Hang Ten,” “Parrott City,” and “Machelle.” McNeal — the namesake of the latter — appears on the final track, “Survival of the Funkiest,” featuring rap-inflected vocals from the trio Coffee, Cream and Sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Thrust Too is sometimes lost in the conversation surrounding its predecessor, it’s just as worthy from a musical and collector’s — hence We Are Busy Bodies releasing both records together, to trace Niles’ early evolution. But in a sense, Niles was just clearing his throat — he’d go on to make more mature, sophisticated works, from Re-Entry to Lunar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niles, Wilbur","offers":[{"title":"- FUNK *NEW*","offer_id":45137628758131,"sku":"HRHLMM-CJA5-L7","price":27.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/funk-new_EWo3Y.jpg?v=1779554779","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/niles-wilbur-thrust-too","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
