Some independent funk-releases


This is a very heavy synthesisers/bass-popping-driven funk project .
Released in 1983 on HCRC Records .
John Williams did later some sidework for ConFunkShun / Club Nouveau / etc .
Eventually he continued under the name Mikki Bleu .



This group "AUTUMN" released their only album in 1984 on Compleat Records .
Again good bass-popping and synthesisers on this joint .
Their track " Kold Krush " appeared on single only and was used in the Krush Groove Movie ( featuring Sheila E )



Shock is a little more familiar to funkers , but this album is their rarest .
Released in 1979 on Nebula Circle Records .

After CAMEO's "Knights Of The Soundtable", Aaron started with fellow-Cameo's Jheryl Bright and Thomas "T.C" Campbell this band .

Tight jams on here were :
- Time Is Right
- You Can't Stop The Feeling
- Do It Up
- Just A Thrill
- I'm The One , You're The One ( this is more mellow-tempo , and a classic in the UK )

Before CAMEO , Aaron & Jheryl played in the 70's bands NCCU & Brainstorm .
