{"product_id":"wilbur-niles-thrust-too-vinyl","title":"Thrust Too (Vinyl)","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\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\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\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\u003cp\u003eA1. hang ten - 6:56\r A2. parrott city - 5:36\r A3. electric earth - 4:07\r A4. machelle - 3:03\r B1. first time home - 9:37\r B2. sevens up - 2:32\r B3. survival of the funkiest - 4:36\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wilbur Niles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42026131128401,"sku":"JD7IJU-2OKC-8N","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/wilbur-niles-thrust-too_n6jFC.jpg?v=1762481236","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/wilbur-niles-thrust-too-vinyl","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
