Tony would have most certainly played on this record were he still with us...that's a damn shame.

I find it really easy to not listen to the vocalizations, the grooves are awesome.

Oh yeah, Chic.

It's not really electronica, it's old school funk. I wonder if this is JR. That's what his specialty was, solid four on the floor beats.
