Zapp - I Can Make You Dance (1982)



This one comes from Zapp's 3rd album, and one that shows them still very much on top of their game! The mix of tight bass, keyboards, and occasional vocoder bits is firmly in place from their first two albums - a stunning legacy of ensemble funk that pushes the older P-Funk ethos into hip new territory for the 80s! Roger and crew are superb throughout - fusing all rhythmic elements together beautifully, and electrifying the whole album with some great voice box vocals - almost making you feel like the instruments themselves are running the show!
