Sweat Band 1980 - Uncle Jam Hyper
Space 4:40 Personnel:
"Hyper Space" is an excellent instrumental that spotlights Razor and Michael Hampton. "Freak To Freak" is an outstanding dance tune that is driven by great percussion, a fine guitar riff, a heavy bottom, and let-it-all-hang-loose singing. "Love Munch" is an amazing spotlight for Maceo, with the background of a light, Latin-sounding beat. He just goes off in solo after solo, then joins in with the rest of the band. The percussion here is also extremely sharp. "We Do It All Day Long" is interesting, with the short intro that emphasizes lyrics and the beat, and then later the longer version that gives each musician a turn. Great singing from the Brides/Parlet, too. "Jamaica" has Bootsy doing some very funky thangs with the space bass, interesting grooves from Razor, great drumming, weird chants and outbursts, and finally some singing from Bootsy. "Body Shop" is a more standard funk number that features good backup vocals from Garry Shider. The highlight is an incredible guitar solo. The album is out of print, but is available as an import on CD. It'll cost you something like $25-35 to get it, but it's certainly worth it to any fan of Bootsy or Maceo. The cover shows a man's head getting water splashed on it. Lyrics are included with the CD version. |
