    Some nice tunes there, though putting "expansions", "mars" and "the
    bottle" on the list does show just how flexible labels can be :-)

    A couple of faves of mine in a similar vein...

    Universal Robot Band - Barely Breaking Even
    Conversion - Sweet Thing
    (some Leroy Burgess goodness...)
    Vicki D - This Beat Is Mine
    MFSB - Mysteries Of The World
    Light Of The World - Time
    Aurra - Are You Single

    I will probably lose myself some street cred points here by
    mentioning the next one...

    Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

    ...isn't this just the perfect disco record?

    ..Mark..
