MORRISON, JUNIE
EVACUATE YOUR SEATS (ICONOCLASSIC)
First time on CD worldwide / Techno Funk brilliance from P-Funk and Ohio Players member Walter "Junie" Morrison / Includes 6 bonus dance remixes / Digitally remastered by Nick Robbins.
Acclaimed by George Clinton as "the most phenomenal musician on the planet," Dayton, Ohio-bred multi-instrumentalist Walter "Junie" Morrison was the visionary musical director of Parliament-Funkadelic throughout a hot streak of gold and platinum albums during the late '70s.
Junie co-fronted and powered funk classics like "One Nation Under a Groove" and "(Not Just) Knee Deep" with his madcap synthesizer manipulation.
Earlier in the decade, Junie provided a similar boost to the Ohio Players. He was the highly spirited voice of the band on "Pain" and "Ecstasy," and most indelibly made an ARP Soloist wriggle and whine throughout the delightfully oddball "Funky Worm." Junie also recorded as a solo artist for Westbound, Columbia, and hip, influential indie ZE Records, for whom he cut 1984's Techno Funk extravaganza Evacuate Your Seats.
The album was written and recorded entirely by the musician himself. Evacuate Your Seats has been cited as an influence on the burgeoning Detroit Techno scene.
Never previously issued on CD anywhere in the world, Evacuate Your Seats has been remastered from the original masters and expanded with 35 minutes of essential bonus remixes.
