The Guns boys have been firing gems at us recently but this release is possibly their strongest to date. TapeEdit 006 is a 4 track 12 inch which is all killer no filler.
First up is David ‘Fathead’ Newman’s 1978 Jazz-funk / Disco killer ‘Keep the dream alive’ which is a drum and flute driven funk monster, lovingly extended and amended - watch out for the midway drum break, you won’t be disappointed. On the inside is the relentless bass twisting, rhythm guitar focused ‘Ups and downs’ with a vocal line and brass section that will leave you wanting more. On the flip is the Brit funk inspired ‘Pass the music on’ which sees the smooth sax and bass of Morrissey Mullen given a massive guns workout. Last but in no way least is Eastbound Expressways ‘Never let go’ rework with it’s beefed up kick and envelope filtered guitar it will fit nicely into any dance floor set and brings this CTG release to a solid finish.
