Well the boys are getting funky ;D
Has taken quite a while to put together, but it was fun :D
I started this one with the rhythm guitars, not sure this was a job for the kite, but man was my doubts put to rest!!
James added vocals, and Tim did the middle 8 + those amazingly funky keys !! .... I did some backing vox, James the intro and break synth part, Mike got way down and funky on his 4-string (or 5 ... ?) ... Jarle added those blistering (;)) drums, while I added the TJ synth solo at the end ...... and did the final mix......
Cheers .... I promise I won't make a habit of pushing the Kite under the mirror ball ;D

If anyone wonders why I'm singing like that, it's my native West Sussex accent! This one was so much fun :-)

The closest we got to discos was barn dances. Normally with the tractor still in the barn... !

And a tumble in the haystack.
Remember the first time you had a girl in your arms at the school dance? I got my face slapped. Worth it. :-)

Funkaliciously discoolacious! Out of character yet somehow completely in, I dig those synths.
I was listening in a New England accent, I think I sound like Cuthbert when he listens.
Rock On!

Oh man!! Within less than 3 seconds I knew this was gonna be a bit special. Got a grin on here, and it's ain't just 'cos of 'big hair' up there. Every single note of every single instrument and voice is perfectly executed, but those drums!! Hear the drummer get wicked!! O0

Yep, had me hooked from the opening bars and I do like the range of styles that you guys are now producing...keeps you guessing what's coming next.
I'm honed in on them funky keys at the minute, they sound so authentically 70's and combining with the rhythm guitar and bass give the song it's groovin sound.
Great vocal delivery, and them superb drums once again prove to be an invaluable addition to the Kite's sound.
Love it!

I really dig that clav sound playing around. Reminds me slightly of Garth Hudson which is a huge compliment as far as I'm concerned. A nice touch at any rate. Yeah a touch of disco, maybe a touch of funk. Maybe a touch of 70's porn music, too... just a *cough* touch. Why is everyone laughing at the end?

Breaking news: JK replaces KC and the sunshine Band.
Damn it, you guys sound great under any light, even the reflective ball.
funky cold medina.
You had me looking for Travolta, when the man from Sussex appeared... sounding like a million pounds.
You guys killed it, the music is right on point.
A bunch of immensely talented blokes, U R, indeed.

Brilliant JK!! Enjoyable blast from the 70's! The bass line is incredible - reminiscent of Bee Gees! Nice job, gents!
