McGriff's Groovy Piano Twist
4 out of 5 stars

Now, this ain't my top pick from McGriff's discography, but it's certainly one of his more intriguing works. He swaps the organ for piano and clavinet now and then, which adds a fresh twist. 'Sweet Love' throws in some vocals, a few tracks are dressed up with strings, and while some parts feel a bit dated, the overall groove is still on point. McGriff shines with some killer solos, keeping things engaging on tracks like 'Space Cadet', the title cut, and the charming 'Big Booty Bounce'. This white label promo copy packs a punch with its deep bass and a rich, full sound. My copy spins like a dream, not a scratch or pop to be heard.
McGriff's Intriguing Piano Twist
4 out of 5 stars

This album isn't quite my top pick from McGriff, but it's certainly one of his more intriguing works. He swaps the organ for piano and clavinet on several tracks, which adds a fresh twist. "Sweet Love" brings in vocals, a few songs showcase string arrangements, and while some parts feel a bit dated, the overall groove is still there. McGriff shines with some impressive solos, especially on "Space Cadet," the title track, and the charming "Big Booty Bounce." This is a white label promo version with a powerful bass and a rich, full sound. My copy plays flawlessly, with not a hint of surface noise.
