A long-awaited 7-inch reissue of AOH's "The Answer Lies in Love" — the falsetto sweet-soul holy grail that was the centerpiece of Praise Poems Vol.9, the trusted flagship compilation series from Germany's premier soul & funk digging label Tramp Records. It's the sole single (self-released in 1977) by the Philadelphia soul group AOH.
The A-side, "THE ANSWER LIES IN LOVE" (sample1), is Stylistics-style falsetto sweet soul with exquisite string arrangements you'd be hard-pressed to hear anywhere else. The B-side, "THIRD EYE" (sample2) — an incredible title in itself — is psychedelic, progressive, dramatic funky soul that's every bit as overwhelming.
