bubinga5 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Marcus's finger style solo playing at the start is just so beautifully played. Edited October 20, 2018 by bubinga5 1 Quote

Cicero Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Great bass line on this one. Whilst this tune predates any of their stuff, it kinda reminds me of Talking Heads' style of 'funk', particularly that found on Remain in Light: 2 Quote
Barking Spiders Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Here's a really obscure but overlooked slab of Brit alt funk from the early 80s by forgotten combo Set the Tone Quote

lowdown Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Looked everywhere to find out who the Bassist on this is, but no luck. But he grooves great on this. 2 Quote

Nice recording. I haven't seen many bands at the local level pull this sort of groove off live. Blue Quote

But he grooves great on this. Thanks for posting this.....Great to hear it again.....I was an 18 year old drummer at the time but loved the bassline as i did pretty much every funky bassline from the era. This tune set the clubs on fire, in particular for me, The Durham Ox Grantham, The Painted lady on the Melton/Leicester road, The Barn in Hockley Heath [revolving stainless steel dance floor with huge glitter ball hanging over it...If you wasn't 'getting down' yourself it was a great vantage point to scan the chics in the whole room] and another old haunt, Millionaires in B'ham city centre. The music was the scene.....Great days indeed! Edited December 7, 2018 by John T 2 Quote

But he grooves great on this. That was a forgotten blast from the past! Can't help with the bass player, but spent an enjoyable hour reading up about Gene, Carl Davies, Chi-Sound Records, Edwin Starr, Curtis Mayfield, and Chicago soul in general.
