I Need You (1984)
A great lost bit of 80s groove — the one and only album from Network, a bouncing funky soul outfit that followed strongly in the spirit of BB&Q Band, Mtume, and other 80s groove heroes! The sound here is upbeat and positive — lots of bass and keys in the instrumentation, and joyous vocals that soar over the top of the beat from two male lead singers. The production quality is great — on a par with any of the bigger label releases of the time. (DGA, Inc)

The Polydor Anthology (1995).
Review:
Evolution: The Polydor Anthology charts Roy Ayers’ 12 years and 20 LPs with Polydor, a rich time where his gliding, loose-groove jazz-funk gained many fans — though perhaps fewer than it did 20 years later in the midst of the rare groove/acid jazz revival. During the 1970s, Ayers and his band, Ubiquity, progressed from political- and social-commentary funk to blaxploitation to disco to some surprisingly touching R&B ballads, and this two-disc set covers it all with grace and a smooth flow. Fans of hip-hop, groove music, funk, and jazz will all be able to find something to enjoy on the collection. Highlights include “We Live in Brooklyn Baby,” “Evolution,” “Running Away,” and “Get on up, Get on Down,” among others.(John Bush-All Music Guide).
