Three great albums from the guitarrist U-NAM!! First we come with his debut, The Past Builds The Future, presenting a great sound and showing us how it all begun. Then, the great Back From The 80´s, where he brings a whole bunch of Soul and Jazz from the legends along for the ride!! Here, he sounds even better, and really lives up to the classic sound promised in the title!! The set feels a bit like an R&B fusion album on Columbia or Elektra from a few decades back, smooth, but still quite soulful, and recorded with a nice sense of sound and space that never lets things get too commercial. And finally, the new one, Unanimity, a lean, mean guitar one, working in a groove that's slightly different than before, but equally groovy!! The album's got a funkier feel than his last set, a bit more playful in the arrangements, although still always with a classic-styled approach that makes U-Nam's guitar lines echo the smoother side of 70´s and 80´s fusion in a really great way!!
