Format:Audio CD
Freestyle Records have rounded up Speedometer's excellent first two albums and bundled them on a single disc. What I really like about this band is they play heavy funk with really strong hooks, making them really accessible. Another pleasing thing about all their albums is there really is no filler at all, with all tracks hitting the mark and mixing it up nicely with a good balance of instrumental and vocal tracks.
On the instrumental side we get Meters-like workouts, deep funk, latin strutters and filthy organ-grinding boogaloo on "Speedtrap"; and then there are the heavy funk workouts like the J.B.'s-ish "You Know You Can (Just Do It) and "Dapper Dan" for those who like dance floor thumpers (who doesn't?).
The vocals are strong from the start with the earlier cuts fronted by the "Speedettes" before long-time vocalist Ria Currie takes the lead. Amongst the stars here is "Work It Out", a cover of Beyonce's debut solo single which was really one of the first new funk tracks that make the original sound like a cover of the cover, if you catch my drift. You know its really good when it starts to sound better the older it gets and that's very true of this collection. Also really worth picking up is "Diggin' Deeper" a compilation which nicely collects some of Speedometer's earlier 45's on various labels. Diggin' Deeper
