Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their impressive streak of unyielding Ohio funk, Slave's sixth studio album features the iconic slap-bass mastery of Mark Adams and Steve Washington's razor-sharp horn arrangements. 'Show Time' is an incredibly tight, rhythmic dancefloor powerhouse that perfectly distills the transition from raw funk to synthesizer-augmented 80s boogie.
