 Notes  
     Few figures exerted greater influence over the music of the 1960s
     and 1970s than Isaac Hayes; after laying the groundwork for the
     Memphis soul sound through his work with Stax-Volt Records, Hayes
     began a highly successful solo career which predated not only the
     disco movement but also the evolution of rap.
     After 1975's classic "Chocolate Chip" and a strong production job
     for The Masqueraders album "Everybody Wanna Live On", Hayes'
     subsequent work with ABC was often poorly executed and conceived,
     save for the one or two tracks that properly displayed his melodic
     genius. With his last ABC effort being a live album with Dionne
     Warwick that just didn't sell, some changes had to be made. This is
     the first effort for Polydor and it turned out to be successful
     partnership.
     With a new label, Hayes also began to record at Master Sound in
     Georgia rather than his studio in Memphis, Hot Buttered Soul. Both
     the label and locale switch seemed to freshen up his musical
     approach. This album didn't start off on the best footing, though.
     Hayes' ghastly disco-fied cover of "Stranger in Paradise" shows
     little trace of his arranging skills or song-picking abilities. The
     other dance tracks are markedly better. "Moonlight Lovin' (Mnage 
     Trois)" has him doing Barry White one better by bringing an extra
     woman into the mix.
     With its playful rhythm and sweeping changes, he sang gleefully
     about the 'the rendezvous of me and you and you' and said mnage 
     trois enough times that his "dates" thought it was their idea. On
     New Horizon Hayes turns in two of his best ballads. The meditative
     "Don't Take Your Love Away" has him going for more subtle
     surroundings in a style that suffered the most on his post-Chocolate
     Chip work. On "It's Heaven to Me" he displays a winning
     vulnerability, and it is easily one of the prettiest songs he ever
     recorded. Although some of the best tracks on New Horizon are
     available on compilations, the entire album is worth seeking out.
