Just the facts, ma'am.
Dayton were from Dayton (Ohio) and like these previously featured Friday nite artistes were a 'proper' funk band before they 'went (electro) disco'. I was reminded of how terrific this track was all of your eight earth years ago when it popped up in the middle of this mix album (which is quite marvellous in its own right, by the way).
This is, as you have surely come to expect from here by now dear hearts, the full length (8:12) 12" version, and not a nun or lonely goat-herd in sight.
Vocoders at the ready? Silver flecked black acrylic crew neck and 'generous' trousers on?
Splendid, then let us begin.
Dayton - 'The Sound Of Music' (1983)
First heard this via a Groove Armada comp - what a treat, and hearing out of context (dropped somewhere in the middle of electro squeaks and bleeps), made it sound even better. D Train 'You're The One For Me' has to got to be odds on for a future Friday night spin-up at some point surely..
ReplyDeleteIf you're tempted, I made a couple of comps which mixes Rockers Revenge (Walking In Sunshine) into Freeze (I.O.U) and another which mixes Primal Scream (Rocks) into Hamilton Bohannon (Let's Start The Dance) - can mail on if you fancy an earful..
Groove Armada - er, yeah Mond, DASS WOT I SAID MAN. D Train - you're right, very much in that zone - have actually made an appearance here before (long time ago in blog years).
ReplyDeleteAnything funky electro mixed you think I should have, always a pleasure dear boy.
Word verif = FUSIT. Ain't that the truth.
PS: I have some ropey old Hamilton Bohannon singles I'll have to computerise sometime.
ReplyDeleteoh yesssss, this is the perfect Friday groove, thank you darling! booty shakin, finger snapping, and fuck em all in CA - finger waving goodness LOL xoxox
ReplyDeleteWhoops - blame the missing 'comp too' on my 'head cold' that and not having a drink all week.. back on on the splash tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMond, you needs to be back on that sauce baby. Tart - if I have brought small pleasure to your Friday thing, this has all been worthwhile *weep* xx
