Sanctuary proves to be our most elusive artist yet; all that's known about him - or her, or them - is that they released this single, I Am Going To Love Him, in 1983 on the Los Angeles label Montage Records. Mixed by legendary pop producer Nick Martinelli, the record is classified as boogie, which is a soulful, downtempo form of disco that will appeal to fans of Quincy Jones' pioneering work on Off The Wall. The joint male/female vocals are catchy but ultimately overshadowed by the immediately ear-grabbing production. The groovy, bass-driven instrumental, sounding like something a young MF DOOM would have sampled, was well ahead of its time with its layered synth and guitar melodies.
