For me this is super cool..the funkiest super tight music, bass, drums..loads of space in the tune, which is awsome....reminds me of a certain Mark King tune.. focussed jazz funk.

wonderfully crafted music from the masters.

i bet Pete does this justice..

Yeh it funks hard this tune (Tom Barney is a superb player), although the original recording of this tune is so brutally clean, everything sounds so close in the mix. It's still cool songwriting if it's your thing but I preferred it when they were limited somewhat by technology with stuff like the Royal Scam and Aja, it did the tunes more justice IMO.

My fave is 'Time out of Mind' - live 2006 with Freddie Washington on bass - a lesson in nailing it.

We did Gaslighting a few years ago. One of the hardest parts I've ever had to learn, especially the middle big riff. We only played it a few times, as people didn't seem to get off on the later album tracks. It's one of my favourite bass parts, absolute genius.

Talking of Haitian Divorce, someone requested it for last night's gig in Milton Keynes, for his eight-year-old daughter, who knows all the lyrics! We've played it on and off for years, and after last night we will probably keep it in the set. Great tune.

You can't beat Kid Charlemagne and Peg for funkiness.
