Roger Zapp Best Rar

Aug 12, 2014 The 1993 Roger & Zapp collection All the Greatest Hits sold well, earning the collective their first platinum record. The Zapp story ended in tragedy on April 25, 1999, when Roger was shot to death by Larry, who then turned the gun on himself. Album: Zapp (1980) 01. More Bounce to the Ounce. Zapp (also known as the Zapp Band, Zapp & Roger) is an American funk band that emerged from Dayton, Ohio, United States, in 1977. Particularly influential in the electro subgenre of funk, Zapp were known for their trademark use of the talk-box effect. The original line-up consisted of four Troutman brothers—frontman Roger, Larry, Lester. 'More Bounce To The Ounce' is a great song with great beats and great vocals by Zapp and Roger (definitely Old School music/roller skating music and the song is featured in the movie 'Boyz In The Hood'); 'Be Alright' is a great song with great beats, great lyrics and great vocals (the late rapper Tupac Shakur sampled the song in his song 'Keep Ya Head Up' and I can definitely relate to the.

Tracklist:
[7:34] 01. Zapp - Heartbreaker (Part I, Part II)
[9:02] 02. Zapp - I Can Make You Dance (Part I)

Zappare a group I've been into for a very long time,over 12 years in fact.But it wasn't until the dawn of the new millenium that I put aside the Zapp/Roger best-of sets I'd been listening to and got into the original albums.This is the one that is devilishly hard to locate. It was finaly released on CD about half a decade ago and only recently did I decide to take the plunge and pick it up. It was my last of their albums I needed to purchase and I was skeptical due to reviews stating it wasn't nearly as strong as the first two.Well...it's sort of true.This album is NOT Zapp II by any means.One of my good friends and I who live funk and R&B both could agree in a way that many of Zapp & Roger's songs have a similar structure. One thing I always kept in mind is this bands combination of hard,surprisingly horn heavy electro funk and urban blues licks allows for each song,even if similar to sound very unique and very different. On this recording Zapp actually deviate a bit from their hard-funk/R&B ballad format.The two songs that start it out tell you so;here there is a mild smoothness to some of the production and more of an attempt to mix the bands ethic of live playing with the use of the studio.'Heartbreaker',here in it's long version is a great example;a nice modern R&B type sound and production with a structure that is totally blues and it's one of my favorite Zapp tunes. 'I Can Make You Dance' and 'Play Some Blues' are classic Zapp;bluesy,swinging,electric and funky from all ends and,at these extended lenghs make them perfect for jamming on your speakers,headphones or whatever you please! After this the album starts going in it's own direction.'Spend My Whole Life',one of Zapp's few bona fide ballads might be a minor weak point here.While it's well done and memorable it tends to be oversung,especially loudly so in the harmony parts and because it doesn't stick around too long it's not anything to worry about;it's kind of likeable.On 'We Need The Buck' the pace is slowed somewhat to a simmering,stop gap funk where the vocorder is dropped for some greasy soul singing about...well some of the things Roger and Zapp Troutman would come to do for their home state of Ohio;using the concept of working class dialog to empower working class people to question their poor financial situation and work for a better life.It's a rare message song for the band and a triumph for this particular album.Onto the next tune we have 'Tut Tut (Jazz)',an instrumental where Roger works out on guitar on a quirky,improvised number that allows the bands instrumentalists to really work out.A brief live reprise of 'Doo Wa Ditty' and BOOM:The End!If you still believe all the bad things people sometimes say about this album pick this CD up and I guarentee you'll be in for an unexpected treat!
