Summary: The Best Surprise Is No Surprise
Comment: VIBRATIONS is essentially a continuation of Roy Ayer's classic 70's soul/disco/jazz formula featuring the Arp string ensemble riffs, Ayer's lazy but engaging vocals and mother-wit lyrics. The lovely inspirational "Searching" is the most memorable cut here followed by the title track and the funky "Come Out And Play".
Like any Ayers album during this period, VIBRATIONS has its share of mindless filler ("Baby I Need Your Love", "Higher" and "Move On Groove On"). But lively vocals and the funky jazzy arrangements along with splashes of Ayer's vibes save the day as usual. It's the same formula he's used on the previous two albums, but Ayers is so darn likeable, you really don't mind.

Summary: Roy Ayers Ubiquity Vibrations...
Comment: Five stars!
I normally rate my albums last. Not this time. This album came out in the fall of 1976. Earlier in the year, Roy Ayers Ubiquity released the outstanding "Everybody Loves the Sunshine." This follow-up was more than able to stand up on it's own. I've waited for years (and years) for this to be released on CD. My patience has finally been rewarded!
My favorite cuts are:
1. The memory
2. Searching (this song was the best!!)
3. Vibrations
4. Baby you give me a feeling (only 3 minutes long, but oh, boy!!)
Don't worry about the rest of the album, it's still a great buy!!
Thanks Roy Ayers (and Ubiquity) and Polydor for enabling me to complete my Collection!
My rating (again): Five Stars! (I still can't believe it's here - Hooray!)
