Fatback - Tonite's An All-Nite Party

2002 reissue of the seminal funk/disco ensemble's hard to find 1988 album. The album definitely lives up to it's title, with the accent predominantly on the upbeat & typically mid-80s electro-rhythms driving it's club-friendly grooves. (And as is the case at any good all-night party, there's also a well-placed cool down zone midway through the proceedings. For all you fans of Fatback's way with a soul ballad, TAANP contains one of their very best slow jams in Stop & Take the Time). Sure it's something of a quantum club land leap from the likes of 'Yum Yum' or 'Keep on Steppin', but the many lovers of Fatback's post disco-era albums will find that it fits & sits comfortably next to latter day FB thrillers like 'With Love', 'On the Floor' & 'Is This the Future?'. 8 tracks. Ace.
