RHYTHM MACHINE 8211 Rhythm Machine (Vampisoul Reissue) 8211 LP 8211 Vinyl JUN 27

LP – Black Vinyl (2025 Vampisoul Reissue). The Rhythm Machine is now available again to the musical public, legitimately reissued in its original packaging. Offering up brilliant soul, haunting ballads and high-energy mid-70s funk, this tasty medley is served best in its entirety. Indianapolis\’ legendary Rhythm Machine is one of the rare funk bands that transitioned between eras of funk\’s history seamlessly, creating awesome funk sides for a host of independent labels between the years of 1968 and 1976. Born out of cult Indy funk band The Highlighters\’ ashes, the Rhythm Machine was founded in the early \’70s by bass player James Boone and guitarist James Brantley. Their self-titled and only LP, originally released in 1976, is a wild, super-groovy ride with tight band energy and a bunch of unexpected twists that keep things interesting from start to finish. At first, you might catch some Earth, Wind & Fire vibesdeep basslines, funky beats, and killer horn sectionsbut dig a little deeper and youll find something a little looser, a little cooler. Theres a smooth, jazzy undercurrent running through a lot of these tracks that gives the whole thing a fresh, off-the-beaten-path feel. Some songs drift into a dreamy, almost spacey zonethink cosmic funk with a romantic twist. The production is silky, almost liquid-like, letting the guitars shimmer and the keys float. And when the soprano sax kicks in? Pure magic. It adds just the right bite to take the tracks up a notch.Perfect for late-night grooves, chill sessions, or anyone hunting for that hidden gem funk record with serious soul. Virtually impossible to find in its original edition, we are now reissuing it once again thanks to a collaboration with Now Again. Tracklist: Side A1. You Got Action, You Got Me2. Lils Place3.
