Get the Lizzy Descloux-Mercier album and let them dive deep into underground with that! The lp has funky artsy tribal tracks like Wana, and if you add Cavern by Liquid Liquid and maybe I Need Someone To Love Tonight by Sylvester (easy to get that one) nobody can complain you are too surface.

Eddie: Would be interesting to hear other people's take on these titles as they were fairly mainstream in the UK.

When I think underground, I think songs that were secnd tier hits. I would normally exclude anything on the pop top 40 and anything in the R&B top ten. I believe the absolute best songs of any genre are not those that make the top 5 Black singles chart but those between 5 and 40. I find that the super-obscure tracks normally lack something and that's sometimes why they were never hits. For me "Cavern" is a good segue or interlude but sounds too mid 80's NYC for me is very reminiscent of "Pull up to the bumper."

THE RIMSHOTS - SUPER DISCO
JOE THOMAS - CAUGHT YOU LYING AGAIN / PLATO'S RETREAT

Well, I think Superdisco is one that should fall in there.
Let's see, here are some more I think:

Drummer's Beat - Herman Kelly
Have A Nice Day - King Errison
Never Let Go - Eastbound Express
Why Did I Go - (80s house jam, can't remember the artist though)
Can You Get It (Suzie Caesar) - Mandrill
Let's Dance - Pleasure
Snapshot - Slave
