Lonely Horizon is the 1st full length solo album by the talented funk musician and composer Michele Manzo. Drifting along a crest of lush chords, rhythmically driving vintage drum machines and rich, piercing bass lines Manzo has created a work which puts the mind at ease and compels the body to move.
Manzo’s Lonely Horizon was produced in his Italian studio and mastered by the legendary Dave Cooley of Elysian Masters in Los Angeles. With brilliant features from long respected Brooklyn MC J-Live and Mo’Funk Records resident boogie queen Moniquea, This 8 track vinyl is a must have for groove hounds, dance floor junkies and perpetual chillers alike.
In mid march of 2018 Manzo will be touring with UK soul staple Omar in promotion of Lonely Horizon’s record store day release. Two additional Italian vocal edits are included on the cassette recording and both cassette and vinyl are complete with exciting artwork which fits the sounds so closely that the lines between your visual and audio experience may feel blurred. Don't stress though, you’re just drunk on the funk.

Was going to buy the BLESS Vol.1 but comparing it to BLESS Vol.2 , Vol.2 was better but both very similar. Had more tracks that were blend of genres if that is what you are looking for. Including adding a 10+ minutes of extra play time. Overall really worth the purchase with awesome tracks that is much worth getting than other tracks made by different artist. This is a whole bunch of albums combined in 2 big albums and I will guarantee that you will like at least 1/3 of the album if not more! Zhang
