Taste The Music - Eighties Funky Delights
August 7th, 2008 by ikiro
It was in the last decade of the previous century when I experienced my musical coming of age. TUPTB Rap 2, Ill Communication, We Rock Hard, Homework, and Illadelph Halflife layed out the tracks and I only had to follow. However, something was missing. Something slick, something smooove. It turned out to be FUNK. Not as I knew it, but FUNK from the EIGHTIES…
It was when I stumbled upon a pack of eighties funky delights documented at Freestyle Grooves that I started traveling over various prehistoric peer-2-peer networks looking for those synth driven funky grooves with lushy bass and smooove lyrics. I quickly developed a strong liking for artists such as Cameo, Kleeer, Patrice Rushen, and Dexter Wansel. And The Fatback Band, not to forget.
Recently, I discovered that the Freestyle Grooves site is still up and running. So I visited some blogspots and made a compilation of the 14 + 1 funky delights reviewed by Ez. Excellent material to spice up any (candlelight) dinner around sunset on a hot and steamy summer night. May the FUNK be with you!

En volgens [url=http://www.archive.org/details/NateHarrisonBasslineBaseline/]Nate Harrison[/url] is dat een 303 in ‘Body Talk’, dus voor mij voldoende Salon-Fähig en ter illustratie van de ‘engineered sound’ van de 80s funk.

Verder niets dan lof hoor Ikiro, ik stond tenslotte ook op half-verduisterde feestjes onder het gezwijmel van Imagination c.s. tegen meisjes in Vanilla broeken aan te schuren
