Product Description

Description

The production powerhouse of Sly & Robbie spent the better part of the 1970s creating the signature sound of mainstreamreggae. When the '80s rolled around, many pop and dance acts were clamoring for the duo to inject some of their studio magic into a more radio-friendly format. FUNKY NASSAU: COMPASS POINT compiles highlights from their many excursions intoquirky dance-floor pop. From stone-cold club classics by Tom Tom Club, Grace Jones, and Gwen Guthrie, to trashy punk-funk crossover acts like Cristina and Ian Dury, the collectionunderlines the unmistakable low-end funk and dub sound thatis Sly & Robbie's alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Class, 30 Oct 2008
I would have used 5 stars to describe this LP, but the modern techniques used to put these tracks to disc has unfortunately lost some of the frequency range. That said, the content is stunning. All the tracks are extended and showcases a truly stunning house band and unequalled sound. If only some of the newer dance acts of today could show this type of inventiveness. Killer record, buy it.
