Search - Stroke :: Stroke

The bass gets plenty of stroke on this mid 80s set, a record that hangs somewhere between 80s groove and Prince-era funk, but with a bit of quiet storm feel at times too. The tunes are pretty lean, not nearly as excessive as they could be, and often, a key instrumental element really helps set the scene from the start, making for a simple, but effective hook into a song. Overall, Stroke's got a sound that's a lot classier than their name and definitely one of those 80s groups that should have risen a lot higher than some of the bigger chart acts of the era.
