Synthesizers took the lead on this 1982 collection, establishing the group as innovators of electro-funk. Pulsing basslines and heavy drum programming became staples for both clubs and radio.
Producer Lonnie Simmons crafted a high-energy atmosphere that paired soulful vocals with modern textures. This set captures the evolution from conventional instrumentation toward the sleek, electronic sound that dominated the decade.
