Jeff Phelps – Magnetic Eyes – LP

A silken, minimalistic stream of electrified soul, “Magnetic Eyes” is Jeff Phelps’ peerless contribution to the tapestry of analog drum machine music that graffiti’d the mid-‘80s.

Tracked in his Missouri City, Texas, bedroom studio in 1985, Phelps effortlessly steeps together the electro stylings of Afrika Bambaataa with the matured caress of Anita Baker’s soulful R&B. This 2021 edition, by Numero Group, presents fresh remasters of the album’s second mix, completed after discovering flaws in the initial 1985 pressing, all housed in replica tip-on jacket with artwork that remains just as evocative as the music it represents.

Enjoy this technically perfect, artist-approved version of a visionary techno-adjacent masterwork.
