80s Love On

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a strong GROOVE to step to. A slexion of 12 tunes from the 80s. We open with a bright one from George Duke followed by another rich chorus from Jocelyn Brown. It then settles down into mid-tempo head-nodding heaven with that special combination of slap bass and synth. Watch out for the uncannily similar keys in the Patrice Rushen and Asso tracks, and the killer break from Webster Lewis. We then slow it down a touch and make it sweeter for the last three tracks culminating in Gwen 'sticking like crazy glue' for when the lights come on.
