The electro-funk rock crew from the
Netherlands known as Tiny and the Underground Funk Squad have
released their latest and greatest LP record album, titled, “M4YB
(Music For Your Butt).” The album is comprised of 11 original
tracks for an approximate total of one hour's worth of excellent
listening. A zany, endlessly fun and often hilarious record, “M4YB”
by Tiny and the Underground Funk Squad is one of the most
entertaining music collections produced this year, and one no lover
of funk rock should miss.
The sound of
“M4YB” is a collage of various style stemming from the
Underground Funk Squad's diverse musical influences. Tiny himself
cites as favorites such legends as Prince, George Clinton and the
Parliament Funkadelic, Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, and Daily Dose
of Funk.
He writes, “In
the '80s I became a huge Prince fan and all musicians that came with
him. That’s when I came to listen to George Clinton and Parliament
Funkadelic. I went to one of their concerts and I was hooked. I never
saw and heard anything like that. It was amazing.”
Naturally, the
fostering roots of P-Funk run throughout the deep grooves of the
Underground Funk Squad. Their style and tone are far from sounding
too derivative, however, thanks to a bevy of other favorites the
other Squad members bring with them in kind. These include (but are
by no means limited to) the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, PTFI, Zootzilla,
Ronkat Spearman, and The DDoF Collective. The blend of these sounds
makes for extremely energetic and danceable music listening, even
more so than one might already suppose.
For
certain, Tiny and the Underground Funk Squad agree on one thing in
the end (and part of it seems to be inspired by the infamous Stevie
Wonder episode of the Cosby Show):
“We need to get the funk back. It’s
time to jam on the one.”
“MY4B” by Tiny
and the Underground Funk Squad is available online worldwide.
