The Cosmic Sound Orchestra - Fly Some Funk Up To The Moon

The last in a cosmic disco 'Baia Sound' trilogy this week, this originated from Germany in 1978. Slightly bonkers, trippy in parts and apparently another Baldelli play. Hey it's Friday, lets fly some funk right up to the moon!

  1. One of my all time favourite tracks, wonderfully deranged and a track that I never tire of....the whole 'Baia Sound' is one of the few 'genres'(in the widest sense of the word) that constantly generates suprises; the sheer diversity of the records and artists they chose and yet all weirdly united by some hidden 'Baia' thread.....todays "DJs" really could learn a thing or two listening to the Baia tapes from 78-82 or Baldelli's recent 'Cosmic' & 'Baia' compilations.
    Not to simply grab rare tracks and pretend you had the original for years but to get the idea of flow, meta-connection and the way the "whole" of the mix is more than just a collection of individual tracks.

    Anyway, old person rant over! It makes me happy to see someone else who loves this track - though sadly the album from which this is the title track is pretty bland and I was gutted when I heard it, I was expecting psych-funk discoid weirdness and got MOR mid-seventies sterile funk!

  2. It's a good post, specially the part about the critic roll. I mean this blog isn't bad enough and any reader can understand the main point about this categorization. 23jj
