ESG – Come Away With ESG


Not all self thought sibling bands turn out like the Wiggin sisters. ESG were one such outfit that managed to create music that has been sampled endlessly since the release of this their first album in 1983 . The music is simple rhythmic stuff, heavy on the bass and drums with the simplest of vocals. It’s music that still sound fresh today and tracks like Dance should be played at all the coolest parties. This is brilliantly repetitive dance funk and as a result should be played loud to get the most from it.

Perhaps the one fault would be that spread over an entire album the music does begin to grate a little because of the lack of variety but there’s just enough catchy drum breaks and shouted choruses to keep the whole thing listenable…8/10
