Stingray5 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Wow, B5, you're on a roll tonight! Some excellent posts there, dude - and quite an eclectic mix too. I've been trawlin' the 'tube for some particular bits and pieces but think I'll wait til tomorrow to post as I'm on my second box of matchsticks as it is, trying to keep my eyes open! (No biggie, but I just realized this post replying to bubinga5 should have gone in the 'Funk and Groove' thread. Well, it was late! ) Edited March 14, 2010 by Stingray5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 This was the soundtrack to my latter years at Uni in the early/mid-80s (the early years were Joy Division, Ech, 23 Skidoo etc). I had the first album by Incognito (was it called 'Behind the Mask'?), which I adored at the time, and a spin-off album they made which I thought was was nearly as good called 'The warriors'. Weren't they linked in the early days with Freez (as in the big hit 'The Southern Freez')? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a huge British funk/jazz-funk scene in the early-mid 80s which was partly fuelled by former punk/new wave bands crossing over to funk (eg A Certain Ratio, 23 Skidoo). Funkapolitan were the other biggies I used to listen to at the time, along with Incognito, LOTW etc. Edited March 13, 2010 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
