Extra Soul Perception

Monk Higgins reworking Watermelon Man into something greasier and more Chicago than Herbie ever intended — that's the move that defines this whole record. Collision in Black is the one sample heads actually know, all stabbing horns and breakbeat drums. Little Green Apples is the detour into straight pop-soul that shouldn't work and somehow does. Poker Chips is the deep cut worth digging for.
