Strut Records presents a brand new reissue of the 1975 Brian Auger's Oblivion
Express original album Reinforcements. A gem from the later years of the Oblivion Express band, Reinforcements sees Auger evolve from his early '70s jazz-rock fusions towards smoother jazz funksophistication, continuing his journey from the previous year's Straight Ahead. With two former Oblivion Express drummers joining Average White Band, there are obvious comparisons to draw as several tracks lean into groove-driven arrangements and polished mid- '70s production. Strut presents the 1975 album Reinforcements, which sees Brian Auger and Oblivion Express shift from jazz-rock into a smoother, funk and soul sound Features standout performances from returning vocalist Alex Ligertwood and includes highlights like the keyboard-driven 'Brain Damage' .
