An excellent funk group from Japan – one who pick up some of the fuller horns of the Stax Records or Afro Funk generations, mix it with some leaner rhythms at times – and also make a strong nod towards contemporary funk modes as well – but all without sounding like anyone else at all! Part of the strength of the set is the female vocals that come into play on some of the best numbers – putting forth the lyrics in a way that's not nearly as slavish to retro styles as you're used to finding in modern funk groups – a quality that's also echoed by the instrumentation in the group, which can sometimes be as jazzy as it is funky!
