In his own words 'Spacey Higher Atmosphere Jazz', just the kind of thing that gets my attention.
A slightly paired down live version of an earlier track that featured on the Headhunters album. I've also trimmed this down further to fit my preferred 90 minute format.
Resuming with more of a traditional Funk approach.
The cover art of the Thrust album has to take full responsibility for this project.
The style chimes exceedingly well with my design aesthetic.
Yeah!
From the Future Shock album recorded with Dub/Bass pioneer Bill Laswel, this L.P. also featured the smash hit Rockit that proved so popular with all the B-Boys.
On a side note, as a small person in the eighties, I always used to find the music video a touch unnerving. I may have to call it up on YouTube to see if it still has the same affect.
*I've just caught up with it again after all these years, and I really regret stirring up all those disturbing images from my childhood.
Follow the link to share the nightmare......Rockit.
Reading the comments below the video and it would appear that I'm not alone.
Another smash hit, probably not as far reaching.
I think Mr. H has just discovered a new effect for his voice and clearly enjoys using it. Listening to it here, suggests that it may not have aged that well?
But the undercurrent of steady Funk does help to power it through.
Sometimes referred to as a 'Disco' version depending on which device I'm listening?
The title track from the album mentioned above. This is an actual cover version of a Curtis Mayfield song. I've already included that original on one of my forthcoming MEECHSPLOITATION projects, so watch out!
This sounds very much like it was inspired by the P-Funk of George Clinton...
According to the internet, this was inspired by Sly & The family Stone.
The title may also be a giveaway?
Ordinarily closing things out with this, but I was quite keen to end with a cheeky shorter offering (below).
From the Fat Albert Rotunda album that provided me with several shorter tracks with more punch to choose from.
