 Dexter Wansel What a great player..his arrangements were incredible.. and his synth sounds..when most keys players were making moogy honking sounds...he made layers and atmospheres or just tight funky riffs always tasteful...way ahead of his time.. "the sweetest pain" is pure class..."life on mars" etc.. but he appears on so many records (particular favourite "if i knew then what i know now" people's choice and with jean carn) anyone want to mention any favourite tracks or any more obscure material that i probably won't know?  |

| 'Life On Mars', 'Theme From The Planets' and 'Latin Love (Let Me Know)' are the ones I've played the most.

| You may also want to try out `Manhattan skyline` and `Mysteries of the world` . Although performed by MFSB the songwriting abilities of Mr. Wansel shine through and they almost sound like solo recordings, no wonder since he played keys, arranged and produced the album (Mysteries of the world). Also check the `What the world is coming to` album from 1977. |

| This guy was one of the many artist from the "Philadelphia International " label which gave us so many hits in the 70's. I loved the whole "Life on Mars " album. It was real cool and laid back! |
