000 Day Album Challenge (#87) Gang of Four: Solid Gold (1981) [27.03.24]

they say our world is built on endeavor / that every man is for himself
wealth is for the one that wants it / paradise, if you can earn it…

during my college years I only began to dabble in the funk that would become a much larger part of my musical landscape after graduating. I was more ensnared by the angular funk of bands like Gang of Four.

as much as I love their debut, Entertainment!, this is without a doubt the funkier record. I think I was more likely to listen to this all the way through at the time. I think I did a lot more needle dropping on Entertainment! – Damaged Goods, I Found That Essence Rare, and At Home He’s A Tourist, in particular.

Dave Allen’s bass keeps driving this record from one tune to the next. even though I’m also a fan of their next album, Song of the Free, they were never as great without Dave Allen who left the band after this album. he went to for Shriekback, who I’m sure will also make this list at some point. his funky bass lines are one of the keys to their appeal too.

key tracks: Paralyzed, What We All Want, Outside the Trains Don’t Run On Time, Why Theory?, and He’d Send in the Army

#WaylandFlowers (1939-1988) would have been 83 today.

With his bawdy puppet Madame, the comedian and ventriloquist was a regular on #SolidGold, #HollywoodSquares and their own sitcom #MadamesPlace.
