Now this is the business! These 15 stomping funk gems from back in the day were compiled by Tobias Kirmayer and the selection is top notch. Many of the tracks possess that raw quality which is highly sought after by collectors, good examples of this being "Misery Is Gone Pts.1+2" and "Funky Nassau". Each song has a little something that makes it stand out from the rest, whether it's a particular lyric, drum break or guitar lick and the obscurity of the artists also adds to the listening pleasure. If I had one criticism it would be the lack of female performers with only Tracks 5 and 9 featuring the fairer sex. Apart from that, I can't find too much wrong with this solid compilation.

I just heard that 1984 track on Pandora and it blew me away! Googled it and here I am. Nice blog!
the musicians and Tobias himself are probably not that happy about sharing the compilation for free. everyone must earn money for making a living, so do all of those people who are involved in this album. you do not do something good when offering the entire album for free.
Low quality digital copies are never meant to replace buying the album itself. You are entitled to your opinion but I question whether many people if any have downloaded this compilation that had initially planned on buying it.
It should also be noted that the link is dead anyway.
Hi Craig
