Speedometer - Four Flights Up

If funk is what you're after, funk is what you'll get with this offering from Speedometer, the third album from one of Britain's premier funk bands. Four Flights Up is a stunning release, a modern funk masterpiece if you will, with fresh mid-tempo cuts featuring vocalists Ria Currie and Robert Moore, plus many mind-blowing instrumental monsters guaranteed to get you shaking your thang and wiggling your ass to the funky beat. Incorporating funk, jazz, soul and boogaloo, these tracks are made for the dancefloor. Packed full of outstanding musicianship with catchy riffs, horns, drums and fabulous guitar work, and coupled with extremely tight production, it's an absolute essential for any soulful funksters out there. You're unlikely to hear a more authentic, powerful, heavy funk band anywhere else at the moment. Rumoured to be working with DJ Format on his forthcoming album, Speedometer are going from strength to strength. Go and buy this album – you won't regret it. [Karen Taggart]
