Search - The System :: Sweat

The big breakout record for The System, one of the key soul crossover duos of the 80s. By the time of the record, electric instrumentation and studio technology had evolved to a point where a team like Mic Murphy and David Frank could put together a whole mainstream funk record like this on their own, and audiences too were a bit more open to accepting a world of overdubs and multi-track recording, and didn't need the 10-piece lineup of some of those late 70s groups to help them find their groove. The standout number here is the huge single You Are In My System, a cut that's wonderful in its simplicity, and somehow even better all these many years later, which it seems like less of a commercial crossover track than it did before. Also expanded with 6 bonus tracks with their biggest hits in 12-inch extended mixes.
