These Memphis musicians updated their approach for the early eighties. Moving past their original horn-based sound, the group adopted a futuristic style meant for the dance floor.
Veterans from Stax Records managed the sessions, prioritizing precision in rhythm. The tracks rely on programmed percussion and bright synth notes to achieve a balance between R&B structures and the band's disciplined sense of time.
