Roll Rock'n Roll That Hula Hoop (Vinyl 7") Kids

Now just over the halfway point

Much like Quakers’ self-titled debut

and Wyclef Jean

usually playing his cello and effects boxes off stage as the choreographers’ pieces were performed

Unlike a lot of their contemporaries

They became confidantes

or Billy Paul's 'Black Power' - influenced version of Paul McCartney / Wings' 'Let Em In and the rare cover of The Beach Boys' 'God Only Knows' by Betty Everett

So what is this comp about

It’s a sound-world which draws on its ancestral echoes as equally as it captures the pulse of a city on the edge of evolution

then still a teenager

The compilation opens with a syncopated electro-funk cover of Sergio Mendes’ iconic ‘Mas Que Nada’ (Tropicana) and the crisp and stripped back techno-pop of ‘Coffee Rumba’ (Nuts Nuts Nuts) with a keyboard bass line that would have made Stevie Wonder weep

They have since taken on a resonance that makes the album "Pieces Of A Man" in particular one of the most important recordings of the last century
