Great disco tune. Good trumpet, good piano, and once the guitar goes into the background, it's good.

Such a great song and still not reviewed... it's a shame. This song got everything you need to groove in your car, and it is very danceable too. Highly pitched guitar licks and, trumpet samples from Tower of Power and a fat bass line are held together by a synth drumtrack. A very powerful mixture. Eventually the main groove is being wiped away by a great piano impro part and effectful clean synth strings. If you are into funk, this is definitely a mod you shouldnt miss. Funkacider got 1st place on the Assembly'01 Multichannel compo. Well I don't give ten points for nothing. 30 channels seemed to be a bit much for me at first, but they are all needed and none is disturbing the tidyness of this composition. Reed has applied a bunch of effects in a very advanced way here; among other things EFx is used in a very interesting way on the bass sinoid to create flanging. Samples are all of great quality. Some people say that FastTracker II is dead, but this tune really, really proves them wrong.
