Various - Spaced Out: Ten Original Disco Funk Grooves CD

This collection of underground dance music is taken from the period 1975 to 1983 from both sides of the Atlantic. The tracks chosen for this compilation introduce us to some of the pioneering few who expanded the horizons of Disco to incorporate elements of dub, funk, electro, jazz and latin. In some ways many of the artists featured here foresaw the birth of successive musical genres. There is no disputing that they were all well ahead of there time and with the recent trend of similarly inspired house they sound as fresh today as they did then.

The music chosen for this album were the underground classics that made the scene what it was in the heady of days of the Paradise Garage and the Loft in NYC and the Warehouse in Chicago where DJ's such as Arthur Baker and Francois Kervorkian could be heard spinning such tracks.

On disc two (CD version only) Masters at Work add their touches to one of their favourite tracks while Harvey and Underdog take on the Disco Dub band and have come up two very different interpretations which will work on todays dancefloors.

This album was also released on vinyl but one hasnt been seen for many years now!
