EL MICHELS AFFAIR
"SOUNDING OUT THE CITY"

Overall Rating:
Lyrics:
N/A (Instrumental)
Spiritual Content:
A good horn section is next to godliness
Genre:
Deep Funk

This is my best underground music find of the last couple years. It is a band out of Brooklyn, NY that is just incredible. This is the band that plays behind the Wu-Tang Clan on their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (most notably, C.R.E.A.M.)

Deep Funk is a genre that is modern funky music that sounds like an old school track off the Shaft soundtrack. A heavy horn section, jazz drum beats, a funk bassline and guitar blend together to make this a musically tight knit band. This seems to be a band that would be right at home with a 20 minute jam session of Walk on By. My only complaint is that the songs are kept to a 3 minute maximum and there are not enough of them! If you are not deaf, and enjoy music, this is a refreshing must listen to.
