Massive!
This is probably the best-ever album of rollerskating grooves -- and is
the most famous entry into a short-lived funk genre that sprung up
around the rollerskating craze of the late 70s and early 80s. The
rollerskate sound took a tight stepping funk groove from earlier years,
and mixed it with the extended instrumental style of club music --
creating a sound that was a mix of funk and disco that worked perfectly
for skating around a track, and which had a huge influence on the beat
of early hip hop. The centerpiece of the album's the massive sample
track "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" -- an instantly recognizable number
that features tight vamping guitar and good choppy rhythms. The cut's
offered up here in 2 parts -- and the rest of the record's just as
great, with titles that include "Roller Skate", "We're Gonna Funk You
Up", and "Thinking About You Baby".
