Club Vibes Posts
* Ok just to clear up a few thing's, Club Vibes posts will appear from time to time maybe one per week at least, they are only for the people who take the time and comment here on a regular basis, if you don't do this then these posts won't be available for you. These posts will be alive for you to request for a couple of weeks only. *
* What to do to gain access to these posts is very simple, comment regularly here on vibes and continue to do so, to ask for the link, make a comment and if there is a choice of format say what format you require on a comment then on a second comment add an email address that the link can be sent to, without an email address you can't get the link. We won't post that comment on the site for all to see, we will just take your address and delete the comment. *
* In the future there could be a private Vibes Club blog. Where newer albums can be shared, without prying eyes, seeing what is posted. These private sites are limited to 100 people, and people who have been receiving these special Vibes Club posts will the the first people invited to the private site. *
* If you take the time to comment here on Vibes on a regular basis your now free to request albums (you might be missing from your collections, last week Peter P, got his request posted, with the Sugababes albums, he had deleted by mistake, and he got some he never had before. I you request an album it will be posted on the main site, so others can also take advantage as well. You are also able to request a re up of a post, if the links are inactive (we stopped doing re up's some time ago now) but as thank you for you taking the time to comment on a regular basis, we will do them for you now, but the same as the Club Vibes posts, you need to post two comments one requesting a re up and another with your email address (which won't be posted). You will then receive the new link via the email address you provided us with. Once I have your email address and have sent you links for some thing then you won't need to post the second comment with the address on as I will already have it. *
* So there are benefits to taking the time to comment here on Vibes. *
* Anybody is free to submit an album you, think people might like that we haven't got round to posting here on Vibes, just send us an email with the details of your share together with a download links to the site email address, 4vibessite(at)proton.me, exchange (at) with @ *

2012 - Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again (Deluxe Version)
Earlier this year Michael Kiwanuka saw off tasty competition from hot tips Frank Ocean and Azealia Banks to be named the BBC’s Sound of 2012 winner by a panel of critics who clearly saw greater long-term potential in the London-born singer-songwriter than in his more obviously hip rivals. If they're minded to, Ocean and Banks have a right to feel aggrieved – the critics were 40 years out. Kiwanuka couldn't be more Sound of 1972 if he was teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony.
This isn't pejorative. It's not as if Kiwanuka is weeping salt tears over his Puppy Love or co-opting the Pipes and Drums and Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. He's got taste. He's "getting it together in the country" with Steve Winwood and Traffic, or beachcombing with Terry Callier, because Home Again is a folk/soul album, warm and understated with a breath of psychedelia. It might not heave with originality, but it's run through with a faith and sincerity that just about overpowers reservations.
And faith is a big thing for Kiwanuka, who peppers I'm Getting Ready – relaxed and summery like early solo Paul Simon – with calls to the Lord, and makes deep promises to his brother man on the gospel-soaked I Won't Lie. Even the less obviously devotional stuff like the slow-burn blues of Worry Walks Beside Me, the Moondance-era Van Morrison of Rest or the mariachi jazz of Always Waiting has the feel of a kind of pilgrimage – Kiwanuka is perpetually on the hunt for something, peace of mind, relief, the return home.
Produced by The Bees' Paul Butler, the album betrays hints of the Isle of Wight analogue dandies' free spirit in its more abandoned moments. Opener Tell Me a Tale is a glorious combination of fluttering jazz flute and Tempations swing, while I'll Get Along – with its nifty, crystal guitar and louche handclaps – is a quiet riot.
But all this spiralling through folk, soul and jazz settles on Kiwanuka's voice, a rich, weathered instrument that appears to carry more than 24 years' experience. If the occasional song is man-and-guitar by numbers, he's got the cords to conjure a bit of depth, whatever the decade. (BBC)
