This is a really nice Boogie Funk album made in Philly in 1982. Galaxxy was basically The Ingram Family (or just Ingram) on the production and musician side of things, with the addition of Ron Aikens and some brothers by the name of Jinkens on the vocals. What matters most is that the end result was a very, very funky one.
The Ingram brothers are just so nasty on the production side of things here - steady, driving drum breaks, deep, funky bass lines, punchy horns, fantastically fun synth work, great guitar riffs - you name it, they can do it better. One of the reasons I chose to upload this over so many other funk albums, is that - besides lack of exposure - this is one of the few funk albums I've heard where the slow jams are just as captivating as the dance numbers. They have a really fantastic cover of Kenny Rogers' "Lady" (written by Lionel Richie!) that just adds so much soul to the original. But most of all, it is the funk that I fell in love with. From the very "Atomic Dog"-ish groove of "Give Your Dog a Bone" to the simple party raps of "You Got It" this album is full of really fun, impressive 80s funk jams that could really fill up a dance floor.
I must apologize for the somewhat crunchy sound of this album - I've been having some software issues and unknowingly ripped this one at a low bitrate. For what it's worth, if I get any requests to, I wouldn't mind re-uploading this one at better quality.
