As it's Christmas

[monkfromhavana]

Quite enjoying these:

Juggy Murray Jones - Inside America Pt.1

Andrew White - Who Got De Funk?

[monkfromhavana]

Enjoying this this evening

Doug Hammond & David Durrah - Fidalgo Detour

[Sebastian Cobb]

[Lord Mandrake]

Jazzier end of the spectrum.

[monkfromhavana]

A nice steady funky disco number

Goody Goody - It Looks Like Love

[Sebastian Cobb]

We allowed to widen the scope of this to freestyle as well 'cos it seems adjacent and I'm getting quite intrigued by it.

[Harry Badger]

This is probably the only disco song that has brought me to unironic tears. Recorded a few months after the accident.

I like a bit of freestyle, so much to wade through to find the good'uns and I've forgotton all those - there was some good lists on Discogs IIRC

Picked up a copy of James Brown's The Payback today as it dawned on me I've never paid any full attention to the dude's music beyond casually overhearing the hits. God damn this is some hot shit!

VIBES...

VIBRATION...

Brown's output from roughly 1967 to 1973 is some of the best music ever recorded in my book. In that I'd include The J.B.'s and the rest of the 'funky people'. That said, I tend to stick to live recordings and compilations with Brown but Payback is definitely one of his more consistently great albums.

[The Mollusk]

I was cooking a huge pie when listening to this but I could swear in one of the later tracks he calls out the "JBE experience" even though the E already stands for experience. It was like the Delocated episode where Jon tries to start his own jeans business called JJ's Jeans. Jon's Jeans Jeans.

This makes me wish that James Brown could have done versions of all of Jon's songs from Delocated.

I! AM HAVING A GOOD TIME! HUH!

WE GONNA HAVE A MEAT SUITE MARATHON. MEAT SUITE MARATHON. MEAT SUITE MARATHON. TONIGHT!

SHALL WE TAKE THEM TO THE BONE ZONE? (YEAH!) WE GONNA GO TO THE BONE ZONE? (YEAH!) BONE ZONE!

[The Mollusk]

KNOCK KNOCK! WHO'S THERE! HUH, GOOD GOD!

SKINS! BABY LET 'EM IN! WAAAOOWWW

YOU MAKE ME WANNA FRRT BABY

[non capisco]

Wish there was a James Brown song called 'This Is James He Does It'.

[The Mollusk]

I don't think even Mighty Joe John would green light a song with that title.

Enjoying this one today as I pretend to work

Change - A Lover's Holiday

[Easy_To_Assemble]

One from ex-Funkadelic drummer Jerome Brailey's band Mutiny. The first track 'Lump' is one massive diss at George Clinton, apparently. Also appears on the soundtrack to Friedkin's film 'Cruising'.

[Jim_MacLaine]

[SpiderChrist]

[Neomod]

Two for the price of one..

[monkfromhavana]

Never heard this one before, but I'm greatly enjoying it

Dynasty - Adventures In The Land Of Music

[Good Hank]

Hope this thread is not too sniffy to include a bit of Brit-funk.

I think all is welcome.

[Bobby Treetops]

Hope this thread is not too sniffy to include a bit of Brit-funk.

I'll start with the obvious.

With amazing bonus dance moves making up for the dodgy audio.

and here it is with better quality audio.

Here's a Brit-Funk inspired (to my ears anyway) modern take.

[Crabwalk]

That GALXTC track is fantastic. Shame you need to drop fifty notes for a copy now. Seems like like the true identity of the artist is under wraps but they're French - I wonder who it is? It's been a couple of years since that one-off release and no word that I can find...

[Better Midlands]

Nice bit of Brit jazz-funk/disco

[monkfromhavana]

Digging this one this afternoon

D.C. LaRue - Cathedrals

Putting 2+2 together I reckon you've been listening to this too.
