Mix Thirty One

Mix Thirty One brings four newcomers in the shape of MBT, The Power Band, Sunlightsquare and Intrigue. There's also some solid grooves from the Commodores, Incognito, Level 42, Norman Connors, Kool & The Gang and Paulinho Da Costa.

When I first heard Sunlightsquare's 'funk & soul' reprise of the Earth, Wind & Fire song "Let's Groove." I felt with this they'd breathed a new funkiness into that song, and I think it works really well. Check out the tasty bass work on the MBT and Norman Connors tracks in particular, the irresistible Mark King bassline on "Love Games", the uplifting horns on Paulinho Da Costa's song "Love 'Till The End Of Time' and the positivity-inducing vocals on Incognito's cover of "Nights Over Egypt".

Tracklist:
1). MBT - You Know Too Much
2). Norman Connors - Mr. C
3). The Power Band - Power Funk
4). Sunlightsquare - Let's Groove Tonight (Funk & Soul Reprise)
5). Commodores - Thumpin' Music
6). Level 42 - Love Games
7). Intrigue - I Like It
8). Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It
9). Paulinho Da Costa - Love 'Till The End Of Time
10). Incognito - Nights Over Egypt
