Speaking of the Greatness of the Clavinet...

Posted by on Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 10:23 AM

When writing this post about the extreme coolness of the clavinet, I neglected to mention the Politicians“Funky Toes,” a song from the Detroit group's 1972 LP whose excellence you can hear below. (DJ Spooky sampled it for his track “Galactic Funk (Tau Ceti Mix),” a highlight from his 1996 debut album, Songs of a Dead Dreamer.) Now you know.

I'm telling you: The clavinet is key. Ask Lymbyc System.

Thanks to Explorateur for the Politicians reminder.
