eddy grant - timewarp (mp3)

been after this record for way too long...thankfully though, i finally picked it up in a bargain bin yesterday....

eddy grant is probably most remembered for his solo stuff, particularly his cheesy contribution to the pop world, with tracks like "baby come back" and "gimme hope jo'anna". however, in addition to this, eddy was also part of the 70's london based group the equals, who were responsible for the most excellent track "black skin blued eyed boy". if this rings any bells, then its probably because "black skin blue eyed boy" recently got covered by dj harvey and thomas bullock on the oh so elusive what ever we want records label...

anyway, back to the track in question. "timewarp" is a 6 minute spacey disco journey, which reels you in via its erratic female vocals and its hypnotic, tripped out baseline. for anyone who's heard daniel wang's seminal balihu #1 release, the track "warped" should become instantly recognisable when listening to eddy grants innovative masterpiece...
