 The Village Voice - 6-27-01
MacDermot's musical thumbprint is smudged all over the urban landscape, thanks to the unlikely rediscovery of his early solo oeuvre: ultra-rare albums that barely grazed any retail record racks upon initial release, but which have now become dusty groove nirvana and are being reissued this week as a two-fer CD on MacDermot's Kilmarnock Records.
MacDermot's randb-tinged melodies and block chords on Shapes of Rhythm land somewhere between the bluesy bop of Bobby Timmons and Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts pop; Woman Is Sweeter has a stronger rock undercurrent, thanks to the greasy electric riffs of a guitarist named, oddly enough, Charlie Brown.
MacDermot may have been content to collect royalties and let his records float around in their original incarnation were it not for a 19-year-old Vanderbilt University student and record collector named Eothen Alapatt.

Galt MacDermot is famous for his soundtrack work of the 1960s and ’70s, most notably as the composer of Hair.
MacDermot’s gift is his ability to craft music that rolls from one funky hook or break to another almost endlessly, making it some of the freshest, liveliest most head-nodding music to come out of the funk and soul era.
This release is further proof of the genius within MacDermot’s keyboard-based, slightly fuzzy electro-funk and soul — a smattering of unreleased, dusty, old recordings that will no doubt begin to appear in the sampled format before too long.
