Remember bumping this jam with my boombox on my shoulder!!! Damn, bring back real hip hop and funk! BIG UPS UPTOWN EXPRESS, JOHNSON CITY,TN..... Your boy SCRATCH is back in the house...
The jam...one of best bands from "The People Republic of Brooklyn" ..along with Chic, Crown Heights Affairs, B.T. Express...that was music..listen to the sharp rhythm...peace
If you pay attention well, and know Brass Construction well enough, you notice redundant elements in the construction of their songs : the regular drum rhythm always tends to go repetitive or syncopated at some point in their songs, like here : "PAK - PAK - PAK- ...PAK,PAK,PAK" , and also Joe Wong's guitar, always in the background, but nonetheless distinctively present, playing non-stop ...In spite of that -while keeping a constant style- they always hapenned to do new things ...Brilliant !
The thin synth melody line that sounds a bit "chinese-like" -at 3:42 and later at 6:11,repeated till the end of the song- makes like some kind of parallel or response to the melody line in "Can You See The Light",coming from the same album; like a trademark ...it's almost the same melody, except the notes are a bit modified... an other trademark from Brass, Skyy and other New-York groups is that macho/virile "HUH !"...
They moved electro-funk by that time... but they had to ! Got to like the Vocoder and synthesizers in that one ! Brass Construction kept on being a great group till 1985 (when they issued their last album...)
@KALABULE3000 : Actually, it was the group SKYY with Rafael Cameron that came to perform in Lagos. Both were produced by Randy Muller of Brass Construction.
had all of their music from 1975 to 1985 one of the serious funkiest bands of that era, especially the album covers always had you wondering what the next album cover will look like.
OMG!! I haven't heard this song since I was 7,back in 1982!! My older brother had the cassette.And we used to play this in the park...Everybody was jamming to this!!
Thank you so much 4 loading this up!!! This is still HOT!!!
OH MY GOD DUUUUDE thank you sooo much. I used to get down and funk to this way back in Nigeria. We danced our asses off literally waaayyyyy back and still surprisingly funky funky FRESH ... thanx again
Brass Construction! under the leadership of RANDY MULLER! These guys were something else, they always stand in front of a caterpillar or a construction site. God the music output from those speakers!!! just heavy! Thank you
My oldset brother who was in high school at the time had that album on 8-track and played it in his chevy ss it was very lucky I have it right now!...it's very cool!!!
