The Poets Of Rhythm - Discern/Define (2LP)

To mark the album's 20th anniversary, Daptone Records is pleased to present the first vinyl reissue of The Poets of Rhythm's galactic, funky masterpiece “Discern / Define”. Pioneers of the burgeoning modern funk scene of the 90s, The Poets of Rhythm set new standards and pushed the boundaries by which lesser known groups defined themselves at the time. With “Discern / Define”, the Poets took their classic funk to a new level. They combined elements of rock, psychedelia, afrobeat, jazz and powerful drums to create a unique, transcendent and funky soul experience. Anyone who has tried to get hold of an original copy in the last twenty years knows how difficult it is - not necessarily because of its rarity, but because nobody wants to part with this album. This clearly shows that “Discern / Define” is timeless. A true classic that no collection of discerning funk and soul fans should be without!
