A key link between 70s funk and some of the avant jazz rock trends on
the New York scene in the early 80s -- a group who seem to draw
inspiration both from the sound of larger funk groups like Brass
Construction and BT Express, and from the artier styles of the Ze
Records generation of the time! Joseph Bowie's in the lead on vocals
and trombone -- working here with Byron Bowie on saxes, Ronnie Burrage
on drums, Melvin Gibbs on bass, Charles Bobo Shaw on percussion, and
both Kelvyn Bell and Martin Aubert on guitars. Given the avant roots
of some of the players, it's tempting to read in some deeper theories
to some of the album's tunes -- but honestly, the record's just an
all-out grooving affair -- one that's going for a party funk approach,
but which also throws in some touches from the post-disco and black
rock scenes of the time. This whopping 2CD set features all the tracks
from the group's classic Defunkt album, plus those from the
Thermonuclear Sweat -- and then an additional set of 5 bonus tracks
from singles and live recordings! 21 titles in all -- including
"Illusion", "Cocktail Hour", "Ooh Baby", "Avoid The Funk", "Big Bird
(Au Private)", "In The Good Times (live)", "Razor's Edge (12"
version)", "Defunkt", "Thermonuclear Sweat", "Melvin's Tune", "We All
Dance Together", "Make Them Dance", and "Strangling Me With Your Love"
