Reggie Griffin & Technofunk – Mirda Rock 1982
Here is some top quality electro funk from a time when computers were only slaves to scientists and were a threat to the rest of us, even Spider-man.
Reggie Griffin seems to have been a regular synth-funk playing, jheri-curl having, stand-up guy. Playing with and writing for a number of great early 80s soul artists. He released an LP as Griffin in 1984 called “Hot Fingers” which includes a track with the name “No Humans Allowed”. I need this album.
Above is 1982’s “Mirda Rock” (avant-garde spelling for the time) on Sugar Hill imprint Sweet Mountain, complete with quite outstanding company sleeve. The first of the seven minutes is the highlight but the whole groove is nice. Now do what the computer says before it digitizes you.
Sadly it’s been twenty five years and computers still can’t dance as well as humans.
