Casiopea -- Galactic Funk

 

There's perhaps a saying "Band members that enjoy themselves well, play well". Well, no, that's not a particularly smoothly-structured aphorism, but it seems to describe the legendary fusion band Casiopea, at least from the comments I've seen under the above video. And it's good to see them back here on the pages of "Kayo Kyoku Plus" again because it's been almost a year since they've shown up.

Indeed, the guys are jamming like crazy with their song "Galactic Funk" which was a track on their September 1981 album "Cross Point". Concocted by Casiopea member Issei Noro(野呂一生), the funk may reach the galactic edge someday, especially with the spaciness of that one keyboard, but for now, I'm happy that it is down to earth and strutworthy. Of course, all you bass addicts will love the intro.
