i've talked about quant and jonathan bäckelie (ernesto) before, it's obvious that i'm a fan but when you make funky music like this you can not be. this track was the first single from quant's second album "getting out", an album that is very much quant but also had some change in the sound.
the singles were much more of the digital funk numbers that you could hear on "quantastical quantasm" but the album but they leaned towards the jazzier sound. sort of makes sense as this album wasn't released on dot as the previous one and it was on austrian label echo.chamber which worked the kruder & dorfmeister/rainier trüby sound.
but as mentioned this track was quant as i fell in love with on the first lp, the synth & keyboard work is accented and the funk is heavy. the resonant almost acid-like bass is thick and gives it a nice stanky groove. the drums are punchy as usual and the track in general sound like how a good modern interpretation of 80's r&b should sound.
almost forgot to talk about ernesto's effort on this, it's in his usual high standard. he really feels the track and does the prince thing quite well. sort of how jamie lidell performs in his early funkier numbers as well. bäckelie is a powerful singer and i understand why he sang on so many of the gonkyburg massive tracks.
