Free Music Notes for The Best of the Gap Band
Free Music Review: Excellent The Best of Gap Band CD
Hit: 5 Stars
The Gap Band was a very good R&B group in the early 80's and fans won't be disappointed with this best of CD, however the music of the Gap Band copied the P-Funk sound from the 70's and after a while the music was very repetitous and ran its course.Check out the songs "Humpin'","Burn Rubber","I Don't Believe You Want to Gep Up and Dance(Oops!)" all from the school of P-Funk albums...heavy synthesizer and throw away lyrics i.e."the bigger the headache the bigger the pill"(from Parliament's "Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Syndrome") nevertheless The Gap Band will always be remembered as one of the most successful R&B groups of the 80's
The Best of the Gap Band Poster
Now that it's become mainstream, there's a lot of quality R&B around, but it's not until you go back and listen to veterans like the Gap Band that you realize what modern soul is often missing: raw funk. This collection includes some of the funkiest and smoothest tracks you'll ever hear. In fact, even if you've never heard old-school soul, you'll be familiar with the riffs and bass lines: they're the type of classics today's producers reference in almost every great party jam. Tracks like "Early in the Morning" and "Outstanding" are just ripe for sampling, and "Shake" and "Burn Rubber" throw you back in time, grooving on a dance floor and bobbin' your head. The adrenaline only slows for superslick ballads like "Yearning for Your Love." A blueprint for today's R&B. --Rebecca WallworkR&B Music CDs
