Survivin In The 80s (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 596113) Columbia/FTG, 1983 — Condition: New Copy
It's easy to survive the 80s when you've got an army of future-suit cats behind you – and given the groove here, it's clear that Andre Cymone was doing way more than just surviving back in the day! The set's a super-tight batch of 80s grooves – with a sharp sound that comes from lots of keyboards, drum programs, and bass bits – performed almost entirely by Cymone himself, but with a fullness that rivals some of the bigger electro funk acts of the time! Vocals have the right sort of flash to match the rhythms – almost a Prince quality at times – and titles include "MOTF", "Make Me Wanna Dance", "Lovedog", "Body Thang", "Survivin In The 80s", and "What Are We Doing Here". CD features 4 bonus tracks – both 12" mixes and instrumental versions of "Survivin In The 80s" and "Make Me Wanna Dance". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
