Funk Factory
CD (Item 464701) Atco/Wounded Bird, 1975 -- Condition: New Copy
A massive bit of funky fusion from the 70s -- an album that was crucially overlooked at the time, but which has gone onto become a crate-diggers classic over the years! The group's fronted by Polish jazz legends Michal Urbaniak and Urszula Dudziak -- but it also features a fair bit of American players too -- all working together in a blend of the best funky fusion modes going down in both the US and Eastern Europe in the mid 70s! Drums on the set are totally great -- played by Steve Gadd or Gerald Brown, depending on the track -- and some tracks have weird vocal bits that riff around the instrumentation, sung either by Urszula, Bernard Kafka, or some other backing singers. The keyboards are great -- quite tripped-out at times, but never too over the top -- and overall, the album's a fair bit more soulful and funky than most of Urbaniak's other work of the 70s. Titles include the killer sample track "Rien Ne Va Plus" -- used famously by the Beastie Boys many years back -- plus "After The World Goes Home", "Funk It", "Sinkin Low", "Next Please", "Horsing Around", and "Watusi Dance". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
