This is a tight, competent set of
disco
funk
from
Strutt
, a short-lived band from New Jersey. The band seemed to vanish without a blip after this album's title track,
"Time Moves On,"
went all the way to number one on the
chart in 1976. The remainder of the album flits between low-key
soul
ballads
(
"We've Come a Long Way Baby,"
"If Wishing Made It So"
) and
instrumentals
full of organ swipes and horn blasts (
"Front Row Romeo,"
which appears in both vocal and instrumental versions). It isn't a weak album by any stretch, if a bit lean, but the title track is the only thing that truly sticks out. ~ Andy Kellman
