    I have my problems with Spotify for a variety of reasons but sometimes it can be really cool, like when it lets me stumble into records like this one.

    It's very difficult to tell if these funk tracks have been recorded in the 1970s or just last year, maybe the mix is a little too crisp in the high end and there's not much tape hiss or vinyl crackle coming up from the speakers but everything else is absolutely on point for that particular period.

    Guitar tones and licks are absolute standout here, great collection of tracks.

    at some point in the last few years a switch has flipped and music based on synths went from being used to describe the future to being synonymous with nostalgia and the past.

    This record is a great way to get reminded of how the weird sounds of synths were used to evoke alien landscapes, weird machines and fast moving technology. Geesin is a master at work.

    great little piece of italian library music by Giuliano Sorgini. Heavy funk stylings with brass, guitar and woodwinds over a tight rhythm section. Drums sound deep and heavy, everything else sounds pristine. Perfect collection of old school sampling material.
