Reply With QuoteHow odd. If I didn't know that the first track was from the late 60s I would've sworn it was one of those modern records that samples some old Roy Ayers or rare groove track with a 'funky drummer' loop.:icon_confused:

OK if you don't know about the group: The Electric Indian ---
For fun,
just give them a listen before doing any further research as to who they were ......
Just listen and decide if this group , by incorporating a Native American flavor to their sound, was on the path ( the war path!) to disco....:icon_confused:
This music came out in 1969 :

Would you also say this song of four years later is suspiciously similar :
sorry without sound on my computer
I don't know which of these two I'm trying to compare it to....
but if its RAIN 2000.....the title seems to be making a suspicious reference as well.

The Titanic tracks have a slightly harder, rockier sound almost like Santana but there are similarities.

thanks Dee!
I have to admit that i haven't heard Titanic in awhile .... so can't readily compare without them at hand .....but in my head they offhandedly came to mind

You're not too far off, Remicks, but it's not the "Indian" part of the artist that would be the foundations of the disco. If you have access to the LP, you'll see names like Len Barry, Joe Tarsia, and most likely on vibes (he's credited for some of the arrangements), one 'VMJ'.
By the way, that audio for Raindance in the youtube posting is not the original track. It's been re-edited by someone recently to emphasize the intro break.
Here's another cut from the album, not sounding so native american influenced, but a nice dancefloor number. The outro break is nice.
