Review by British Black Music www.bbm-on.net

Look out for a double CD retrospective compo of hits, essential, rare and side project tracks from one of Britain's best jazz-funk groups, Light Of The World.
'Anthology: Addicted To Funk' (EMI) is an essential buy for any Brit-funk fan, especially as CD2 includes tracks from side projects such as Incognito, The Team, Jaye Williams, Gee Bello, plus Beggaer & Co's 'Somebody Help Me Out' and Spandau Ballet's 'Chant No. 1'!

--------------------------

Product Description
For 30 years now Light Of The World have led the way for British jazz/funk and soul.

Now, in appropriately innovative fashion, they mark those decades with a 2CD anthology.

Centrepiece on the album are two brand new tracks, "Feel The Real", and "Walk Don't Run", the latter is a collaboration with soul legend Alexander O'Neal.
CD 1 features 12-inch, 7-inch and Remixes while CD 2 entitled features associated projects and rarities.
EMI. 2006.
