"Funny Funk" by George Duke from Feel
I suspected Mother may have posted this one and the archives indicate that was the case 5 years back. He was wondering what was funny about this funk. My guess is it's all the jokes that synth bass is telling. George is making this thing talk. Some fine Rhodes work in the mix as well and Airto's fine drumming puts this one over the top. Funny Funk

"The Man With The 4-Way Hips" by Tom Tom Club from Live at the Clubhouse
I was discussing dancefloor classics with a friend recently and of course this tune came up. 4-Way Hips was such a huge bomb in the clubs back in early 80s. She asked if I'd heard the slow version and I had to admit I didn't realize it existed. This was recorded live in 2001 and they took it down a few notches speed wise. Tina Weymouth on that killer bass and vocals backed by 5 percussionists and Robby Aceto on guitar. The Man With The 4-Way Hips

"Life on Mars" by Dexter Wansel from Life on Mars
Bit of a rerule here. It's been a while though. Just got a fresh copy, so a fresh rip was in order (-5.6 pitch down). And yes, this one is still my TOTD. Synths and bass and drums meeting in perfect dancefloor harmony. Nice soft chorus, too. Life on Mars

First track on Banfi's first solo effort. A nice long synthy tune sparkling with late 70s electronic haze. Galaxy My Dear . And more over here . . .

"Les Litanies Des Animaux Cybernétiques" by Richard Vimal from Migrations
Here's a laid back floating merrily down the stream in a synthesized jungle kind of a tune. Richard Vimal and pals playing with their guitars and keyboards squeaking out all manner of critter sounds. Les Litanies Des Animaux Cybernétiques 8 more tracks at the Bin .
