[QuebecFunk]

I love the Randy Muller production...the 2 first Brass Construction Album..Skyy..

But i'm still looking for bands with that sound: Heavy drums. funky bass, a touch of synth...I got tons of album..but i need more of ths sound in my life!

What should i get??

Help me please!



----oh and i like Crown Height Affair's sound too

[BrunoRepublic]

Mass Production, particularly their debut Welcome To Our World.

[thommy2458]

The Winners LP with "Getting Ready for the Future"
and Mark Radice with "If you can't Beat em" are
both Randy productions.Also the 1st two BT Express
LPs are perfection.

Kleeer is somewhat similar to Brass Construction.

[FranceJoliFan]

Aurra, Slave, Loose Ends.

(I still love Skyy too.)

[BrunoRepublic]

Kleeer is somewhat similar to Brass Construction.

But their first album is closer to Chic. :)

Hi
You are probably aware of Funk Deluxe, but if not they were also produced by Mr Muller. As mentioned by someone before I think Aurra are comparable, and some tracks by Slave (Just a touch of love, feel my love, watching you)

.....or Full Circle (also known as First Circle) also produced by R.M

Rafael Cameron (often just called Cameron) had 2 LPs in the early 80s (on Salsoul) that were produced by Randy Muller & have his usual sound. I particularly love the 1980 track 'Lets Get It Off' by Cameron.

[Disco Funk]

You'll go mental over this cut:



It's Brass Construction backing Garnet Mimms.

There are several mixes, if you're interested. The version on the 'Has It All' LP is about 6 minutes. Then the 45 has the short 3 minute mix on one side and a 5 minute instrumental on the B side. The 12 inch single is the same as the 45, having the short vocal on one side, the long instrumental on the B side. It's worth getting the LP and 12 inch/45 because the long mixes are have different parts, so the instrumental isn't just the LP mix with the vocals removed.

Unfortunately the entire LP doesn't sound like Brass Construction. There's one more track called 'Street Life', I believe, which sounds like BC played on it. But the non-BC sounding track called 'Tail Snatcher' is a great disco tune, so it's worth getting the LP.
