Thermonuclear Sweat

 

Defunkt - Defunkt [HNBL 1301 UK 1980 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Now it's time for a truly great sounding album, ripped here for my original UK pressing. 

Joe Bowie's Defunkt were a remarkable act, taking funk & jazz to the New York new-wave masses and beyond. Here is their self-titled debut album - a stunning audio experience recorded with a ten piece big band line-up featuring the very talented Melvin Gibbs on bass, all fronted of course by the Bowie trombone.

Frustrated by lack of recognition beyond the underground scene, Bowie broke the band up after their second album, however returned in the late eighties to tour and record until 2015. This album is where it all started and remains to this day an important album and a genuinely entertaining listen.

    Lucky enough, to see them several times live back in the 90's. Many thanks for the rip BM!

    Thank you! Never paid attention to this band in my youth. Time to correct that.
