Toulouse were studio backing vocalists who in 1975 decided to form an official group. "Export" is their 1976 LP re-released the following year with English vocals for the American market. Most of the songs are disco pop, except for "Tonite I Feel Like Dancin'" and, above all, "Funkysation" with its powerful and melodic arrangements is the track to play.
