Breakwater / Splashdown
Breakwater, the legendary 1970s funk-soul ensemble, left behind music that defined an era and influenced everything after. This 2016 CD compilation gathers key moments: "Work It Out" establishes their groove philosophy—tight rhythm section, clean horn arrangements, grooves designed for dancing but smart enough for listening. "You Know I Love You" shifts toward softer soul, while "Unnecessary Business" and "No Limit" remind you why they mattered to funk and disco history. The band's gift was making the music feel effortless even when the musicianship required precision. Reissued on CD for accessibility, these recordings remain a masterclass in ensemble soul-funk. Essential for anyone seeking to understand the roots of contemporary soul and dance music.
