The fifth album from the Swedish six-piece groove machine Beat Funktion is Olympus, also the band's new full length concept album. On the disc, the band obtains inspiration from Greek mythology. Perhaps you are wondering, how can Greek mythology be groovy?
Well, if it has a festive night with Beat Funktion--a band that has been internationally successful for years with their danceable combination of instrumental 1970's disco, melodic funk, jazz improvisation, pop, rock. reggae and psychedelia. The results on this new recording are 15 tracks that have a solid groove to them. "Game of the Gods", announces the intentions on the disc, which includes groovy explorations of songs entitled "Viper Lady", "The Hydra" "Mount Olympus" and the standout track "Where's The Sunshine", which is a retro-1970s dance floor delight.
Beat Funktion is: Karl Olandersson, trumpet; Olle Thunstrom, tenor saxophone, Johan Oijen, electric guitar; Daniel Lantz, keyboards; Pal Johnson, bass; Jon Eriksson, drums with guest vocalist Rebecca Laakso on "Where's The Sunshine", and other special guests elsewhere on the recording.
Another thoroughly satisfying release from a band that delivers the groove, every time. Previous Beat Funktion recordings include Mandy's Secret, Voodooland, Moontown and The Plunge.
