Inspiration Information by the elusive Shuggie Otis went largely overlooked at the time of its release in 1974. Which is a shame, because it’s one of those albums that you hear new things every time you play it. Shuggie played every instrument here himself, giving us a look into his psyche: soothing, subtle, harmonious and elegantly funky. Some say the album is ahead of its time – so much so it would fit into the Trip Hop genre with ease. We’ll let you decide, all we know is we can’t stop playing it!

Inspiration Information is available on audiophile black vinyl.
