Steve's Tape

I was playing a show 4 years ago at West Nile and a 50-something year old man named Steve gave me a dubbed tape (recorded over a Luther Vandross album) as payment for the show. We talked about his old band in the 70s, a sci-fi funk, Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters inspired group. The tape is even better than that sounds, and way stranger. It's a mood piece with some really nice keyboard hooks, abstracted and collaged together. There are three repeating motifs on the tape. Each appears and reappears, with variations and nice Casio improv. Really glad to share this, and I hope Steve gets in contact. I really want to play him some Psychobuildings.
