Humanizing The Vacuum
Any comp of his Motown singles tears these albums to bits of bark, but I compiled these selections as an experiment on myself: how good was Marvin Gaye as album artist? Lovely good. Our tastes don’t align, though.
For the curious, my tracks list.
1. In Our Lifetime (1981)
Bowdlerized, a commercial bomb upon release, the penultimate album Gaye released, uh, in his lifetime is a minor masterpiece of knotted funk: beholden to no disco or illumination R&B Quincy Jones or Earth, Wind & Fire crossover. Vinyl copies were plentiful a decade ago, less so now. Perhaps “Far Cry” is an accident; perhaps “Life is for Learning” dramatizes Gaye’s fight to mate the flesh and energy worlds. But, my god, the rhythm section on these tracks! Whether programmed or drummed up by Gaye himself, it anchors his more abstruse ruminations. “Praise” is an old-fashioned Gaye smash. “Ego Trippin’ Out” gyrates in its own universe: its rhythmic pattern suggests PiL’s “Death Disco/Swan Lake” with horns replacing guitar interjections.
2. I Want You (1976)
