If you like the Hammond B3, you need to give Screamin’ Retro - “Scream On!” a listen. Glenn Maltman is Screamin’ Retro and hails from the UK. This release has that melodic/funky/repetitive groove that is characteristic of other British acts like DTTB, James Taylor Quartet, Shakatak and the Chris Bangs projects. “Scream On!” is infectious, feel good music! Along with the Hammond organ is a horn section that really fills it up and a lotta wah wah guitar. I’ve haven’t been this excited about a UK release since early DTTB. My only concern is that I’ll listen to it too much. It is NUMBER 1 on the Hammondbeat top seller list. Anyway, Screamin' Retro is fabulous.
Only thing bad about this release is that it ends (7 tracks).

Playfully romping mod soul style

Keyboard heavy grooves from Screamin Retro -- a tasty little EP that's halfway between Prestige Records jazz funk of the late 60s and some of the more electric soundtrack work of the 70s! Keys include a fair bit of Hammond in the mix, but there also appears to be some others as well -- although we can't tell for sure due to a lack of notes -- and all tunes here are in a playfully romping mod soul style -- similar to other work on Hammond Beat, but a fair bit funkier too!
