A tasty moog groover from Hot Butter! "Percolator" pops with a coffee pot sound (don't hear that in the kitchen much anymore!) – jumping along over a playful little groove that rolls with a nice snare and washes of keyboards. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
What can we say – an undisputed classic! "Popcorn" was the track that revolutionized electronica forever – and this is the great hit version that popped up on charts all over the world. Great drums, great strings, and a wonderful popping moog that won't lay down! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
