On one level, for an insight into some of the roots of LCD Soundsystem this
is fascinating listening. On the other level it’s just a bloody good mix of
classic NY funk, disco and electro, Easy funk comes from the likes of Baby
Oliver and Donald Byrd, while Instant Funk and Love Committee represent
Salsoul to hugely uplifting effect. This hugely energetic mix feels the funk
from first note to last, whether it’s Lenny Williams, Daniel Wang or the LCD
boys themselves with ‘Hippie Priest Burn-Out’. DFA started off the back of
music like this – music that could soundtrack many a party.
