Reminds me of the early Chicago sound, before they went commercial.

I've only got about 4 minutes in but I'm intrigued by the trumpeter's sound baffle hooked onto his mike. I've never seen anything like it. Are there any trumpeters around who can elucidate?

Ooh, a Stevie Wonder cover!

And bad, like a jar of old mayonnaise. Hope these guys stay massive. There's also some elements in the keyboard/guitar interaction reminiscent of Steely Dan, back when they were good. Some songs bring to mind The Squeeze as well.

I thought of Steely Dan too.

Did someone say Stevie Wonder? Any excuse.

I believe it's to stop the blasts of air from the trumpet distorting the mic.

Caveat, I am a trumpet player but a very very occasional one.

Here, live at Sopwith Camel, without horns, or the fantastic mixing of Walter Becker.

and as mixed, for the album Countdown to Ecstasy

Look for the almost Charlie Mingus-like riff at 3:39. Tumbling into the sea.
A real attention getter of a hook.

Federation of the Disco Pimp, perhaps the best band name since Half Man Half Biscuit.
