2025 reissue - Adrian Younge: law professor by day, music scholar, film editor, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and probably a few other things by night. Tapped by director Scott Sanders, Younge not only edited the Blaxploitation homage Black Dynamite but scored it, all the while playing over a dozen instruments -- from monophonic synthesizer to electric sitar -- and directing a session band with several male and female vocalists. Younge and his associates recorded the material with the intent to have it sound exactly like a score from the '70s, and they achieved that. No piece of equipment used in the recording dated late than the late '70s, and Younge's knowledge of '70s black music -- blaxploitation scores in particular, obviously -- is astonishing. He skillfully walks a creative tightrope, incorporating virtually all the trademarks of an early-'70s blaxploitation score without being overly referential. These songs are far too durable to be disregarded as kitsch. All of them are worthy of Black Dynamite, a man who "put Nixon on the run," "killed them dirty crooks," and "beat the devil with a shovel three times a day." - Andy Kellman
