The Fatback Band - Tonite's An All-Nite Party - Music & Performance - CD

2002 reissue of the seminal funk/disco ensemble's hard to find 1988 album.

The album definitely lives up to it's title, with the accent predominantly on the upbeat & typically mid-80s electro-rhythms driving it' s club-friendly grooves.

(And as is the case at any good all-night party, there's also a well-placed cool down zone midway through the proceedings.

For all you fans of Fatback's way with a soul ballad, TAANP contains one of their very best slow jams in Stop & Take the Time).

Sure it's something of a quantum club land leap from the likes of 'Yum Yum' or 'Keep on Steppin', but the many lovers of Fatback's post disco-era albums will find that it fits & sits comfortably next to latter day FB thrillers like 'With Love', 'On the Floor' & 'Is This the Future?'.

8 tracks.

Ace.
