The golden age of jazz funk produced some almighty instrumental anthems. Some of my favourites are 'Still in the Groove' by Ray Parker Jr and Raydio, 'By All Means' by Alphonse Mouzon, and this one, 'Night Cruiser', by the multi-talented Brazilian musician, producer, arranger and composer Eumir Deodato. This really got the Soul Boys spinning in their pegged turn-ups and Soul Girls funking like there's no tomorrow in their satin halter necks and day-glo legwarmers down at Caisters all dayers.
The consummate funkability of the trumpets is off the scale and I equally love the prolonged soaring synth that you can hear almost all the way through once the track gets into full flow. And the "Whoo!"s got everybody just a jumpin' and a bumpin'. A lot of people got heavily funked on this number, that's surely no lie.
I wanted this on the 1970s thread but it's a year out. I am so happy to have found a home for it here..."WHOO!"

Music Box Dancer and Peter Piper - both by Frank Mills (a renowned Canadian pianist).
Joker's Wilde
I most definitely agree here these are just wonderful .
The first song here MBD
was actually a memorable childhood favorite of mine .
Unfortunately I don't remember " Peter Piper " but I have to say I'm hooked on it now .
Thanks so much Joker's Wilde
for these awesome selections and your reply .
No problem!
Peter Piper wasn't exactly a big hit of his. In fact, I came across it completely by accident.
There was a commercial back in the late 80s/early 90s - advertising his 20th (or 25th) Anniversary compilation. Peter Piper was one of the songs being advertised.

I have not yet had the opportunity to go through every video posted in here, but I sure do notice there is very much quality and interesting choice of artist and different musical styles being put up, so I will try to come back to that later on. However, I thought about starting up a similar thread, but this one came up when I used the search function, so I guess it now works (all of a sudden), and since this fine thread should not be "forgotten", I hope it is okay to bump it back up, with some favorite instrumentals: Simple Minds - Theme From Great Cities (1981)Without a doubt, one of the most relentless and tight instrumentals I think Simple Minds ever put out. The way it just goes off from the very start, from the chilling futuristic synths, to right into a fat and huge groove, consisting with that incredible bass playing of Derek Forbes, and the drumming, just, well it is almost the perfect running "song" or theme, really. This music just gives me such a huge energy boost, whenever I want to go all the way, when either jogging or just running like a complete "maniac" outdoor. Anyway, Simple Minds were the masters of coming up with some truly stunning instrumentals back in the 80s, I notice that Someone Up There Like Me has already been "taken" but I did not notice Theme From Great Cities, so here it is. Roxy Music - Tara (1982)I love those lush and dreamy sounds of this record, and it is or has to be along with Simple Minds and their New Gold Dream (also from 1982) some of the most elegant and stunning music the british produced back in the 80s. Tara is really one of those, I just wished it would go on a bit further, but it really is the perfect way of ending such a fine album with, special music for special occasions. Scorpions - Coast To Coast (1979)Alright, a bit heavier than the rest, but somehow this record and band have "slipped" past my ears, for a very long time. I do however own Love Drive (1979) which to my surprise, not only looked like a very interesting record, but it turned out to include lots of fantastic and very upbeat music and songs, but it was the truly heavy and just downright awesome sounds of the instrumental Coast To Coast that did it for me, and really were the true highlight out of that album. It this the kind of music that, I can picture myself (if I only knew how to drive that is) driving around at night in a fast sports car, on a huge endless highway, along with this one blastin' through the speakers.

I am glad you enjoyed them, specially the one by Simple Minds, who I agree, have a certain sci-fi/adventurous theme surrounding it, and I guess I just love how they seemed to combine their earlier or more post-punk dominated "roots" along with their approach of a more synth pop heavy sound.
Yes, Theme From Great Cities, not only the name itself, but the sound it has, it just screams to belong in some futuristic sci-fi action/adventure, and maybe someone will take notice and do something about that one day, or so one can hope. Because acts such as Simple Minds, Gary Numan, Ultravox, John Foxx and so many other british synth pop and new wave musicians, had a certain thing about creating or coming up with these very atmospheric and uplifting futuristic instrumentals, that I am sure would have made good use in a movie or two, if of course it was done properly that is. Anyway, I am glad to see it was you who started up the thread, and thought such a interesting and exciting one, should not stay "dead". Well, take care and as usual I think we will catch up later, or maybe earlier but as always its very nice to read your kind replies and also listen to the music you have posted in here.

Just thought I should, mention (or maybe recommend is a better way of putting it) their brilliant 1982 album, New Gold Dream. I recently dug it out, and it just oozes of class, elegance and it such a special album, that combines uplifting, almost dreamlike music along with very catchy and stunning new wave and pop songs, and for me, I think they reached their absolute creative and commercial peak with that one, as there is absolute pure class, all the way. For me, this is a bit of a "problem", because I love that record so much, and it really were the first album of theirs I bought and listened to, so I have tried so hard to "love" many of their other albums, but none really came close of capturing that certain atmosphere and vibe they had going, and of course very much of it had to do with the fantastic bass playing of Derek Forbes, who I think has to be one of the most talented bass players from that era. The wole record he is completely everywhere with his unique style and way of using the bass, and creating a almost hypnotic sound, which for me sadly was a big letdown, when I learned he soon after their follow, Sparke in the Rain (1984) would leave the band, and they never really hit that magical period again, as an album band. Sure, they had huge success with hits over in America, but the things they made from late 70s and up to the mid 80s, were really something special. For me, the best way to try and describe New Gold Dream and its sound, is by posting these two, kind of different I guess, as one is much more uplifting and "huge" in sounds and rhythm, almost like a party-tune, while the other one surely captures the albums more laid back and dreamy tones. New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)Big Sleep
