If that's the only way to keep them from melting down.
Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - 1980
Such a strong album, this. It contains some of GSH & BJ's biggest bangers, strong musicianship, including the wonderful Harvey Mason on drums, and the TONTO synthesizer which had been used by Stevie Wonder a few years previously.
I was lucky to see GSH live a few times, and he was always brilliant. I remember being terribly sad when he died. I would have loved him to be around today, because no-one could eviscerate a right-wing politician like him.
Also, I'd always thought Pieces of a Dream had got their name from the track Willing on this album. According to their Wikipedia page, I was wrong.
