Instrumentals

[doit78]

Hi!
I'm nuts for disco instrumentals in the style of The Hustle, Get Down With The Philly Sound, T.S.O.P., Love's Theme and many of the Salsoul Orchestra. Does anybody know more titles/bands that could interest me?
Thanks:razz:

Your selections are all over the place. By that, I mean, you'd probably like any instrumental. I would recommend starting with other songs by the artists who did the songs you listed. So, Van McCoy, MFSB, Salsoul Orchestra, and The Love Unlimited Orchestra. If you like the LUO sound, get Gene Page's 'Hot City' album, since it's essentially a LUO record. Same goes with the soundtrack to 'Together Brothers'. It's mainly an instrumental.

After that, check out stuff by guys like Eddie Drennon, The Brothers, as well as instrumentals like 'Express' by BT Express or 'Movin' by Brass Construction (there are some vocals).
