"I have FOND memories of these guys. They broke out with their debut album with the "lips on a waterhose" album cover, the same time I was coming into my dating ages. Although they only put out two albums, these were comparably the best albums of their era. (Tie between Breakwater and Heatwave) I notice mainly people from Philly, as I am originally, have knowledge of "Breakwater". WDAS radio had a great ear back then for great music. These LP's are timeless. I still pump these on the regular, and never get tired of hearing it. If you have never heard of these guys, take time to listen. You'll be glad you did. It was groups like Breakwater that laid the foundation for the Funk/Neo-Soul sound we enjoy today. All you youngbucks!! Take Note!!"

"Im from ATHENS GA. originaly from philly i remember breakwater from the early 70's when they played in the park ,belmont plateau with groups like rated-x, brutus ,soul devalients,and cross town traffic. BOY!! THOSE WHERE THE DAYS,it was about the horns then and breakwater always won the battle of the bands. they are funk legends off the scale and i rate these albums 5*****.I can't afford to get them but if i could i would put them on the top of the list."
