Funk By Way Of Kingston ....

Posted over 4 years ago
I always pride myself on giving you something more, not just a track and a title. Tonite I couldn't do that. I know nothing about the Brentford Allstars. My usually crack research skills have failed me. I got nothing. Nothing except the Brentford Allstars were a studio band for the famous Studio 1 out Jamaica. If anyone has anything to add, please do. Until then ....Enjoy!

    Hermes says Very nice flow here. Listening to this the fourth time in a row. Minimalistic in instrumentation and theme. They seem to apply the dub principle on funk. Very interesting an funking. Kick the singer and the "higher situated" melody, concentrate on bass- and drum line. Does anybody know, when the first dub records were released? I just looked at Wikipedia and they say, that the "multi track technic" began in 1973, but Dub already existed before. Sadly me being a youngster, I know nothing about this group. But I have to get that, that's for sure.

    Girlcrawl says This is scrumptiously infectious, and ditto comments by Hermes; have never heard of the Brentford All-Stars, but definitely want to hear more - perhaps soulrocket would have some insight into the mystery...

    I am says What the..... why? To many hits? Sudden copyright issues? Seems strange it's gone now that I linked it. Oh well.

    soulrocket says probably copyright issues, that must be the clip included in the soul jazz dvd devoted to studio 1.
