Solar Funk, originally released in 1979, captures multi‑instrumentalist Travis Biggs at his most inventive — blending cosmic jazz‑funk, spiritual soul, Detroit groove, and early synth experimentation. Biggs’ instrumental credits span harp, clavinet, mandolin, bass, keys and more, shaping a sound that moves from ethereal ambience to deep funk propulsion. This 2024 Record Store Day edition marks the first full reissue, pressed on translucent solar‑speckle vinyl with newly mastered audio by Phil Kinrade at AIR Studios and an exclusive liner essay by Will Fox. A long‑sought Detroit gem, revived in full glory for modern crate diggers.
