The era in the late seventies when funk and disco gave rise to hip-hop was truly awesome, another blast from the skating rink!
Forgive my spamming of this thread. My wife is out for a "girl's night," so I'm indulging in some awesome tunes tonight, after a long work week.
At least 3-4 of us are musicians of varying levels. You can't spam us with music. You can post up to like 5 clips on one post. My wife and son are away too... So... Since it's Easter Bunny weekend, I am about to surf 1976-1995 hip hop and post some true highlights.

The Sound of Silence. No, really. For once it's dead quiet in the house, and no traffic on the street. Just an occasional dog-bark. Nice.
Wow. He's good. And the envelope filter and octave generator the guitarist is using sounds so cool with the swept bass attack. So. Cool.
