Tight, funky, heavy bass, synth lines, grooves ... I love this sort of funk.
With such talent a real shame the band only ever made one album it seems.
Some one please point me in the direction of more of this. I have a vast collection already but you can never have enough quality tunes.

One of the Grooviest pieces of Jazz & Funk I've ever had the privilege of hanging on to for all these years. Moog & Synth with sexy vocals from Urszula Dudziak. Top notch musicians & creative input on this one. It's been sampled by DJ's & Producers but most recognized (in my opinion) are the samples from "Rien Ne Va Plus" used on "Car Thief" from The beastie Boys' Pauls Boutique LP from 1989. A very space-aged trippy voyage of Jazz funk & soul
