The sublime Time Capsule remains Weldon Irvine’s most fully realized and influential recording. Assembled as a kind of musical scrapbook documenting the thought patterns and belief systems of the early ’70s, it nevertheless boasts a surprising vitality and timelessness thanks to luminous funk grooves that anticipate the latter-day emergence of acid jazz. Irvine also rhymes over several tracks, further cementing his influence on successive generations of hip-hop.
