Various - Spaced Out: Ten Original Disco Funk Grooves LP

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.

This album is now out of print on vinyl but the CD is still available
