Top tracks — play these first

  • →
    Do What Ya Wanna Do — The seven-minute club hit builds its appeal through a sustained funk groove and a repeatedly inviting vocal hook.
  • →
    Disco Magic — Another extended dance-floor cut, it shows how the band could keep a groove moving beyond the length of a conventional radio single.
  • →
    Go Back Home — Its shorter form offers a contrast to the opening extended tracks, bringing the band’s funk approach into a more compact song structure.
  • →
    Peace Line — The five-minute closer gives the album room to settle back into an extended groove after its run of shorter songs.

Moments worth listening for

Where the writing does something specific.

  • Do What Ya Wanna Do

    The central refrain repeatedly turns an invitation to act freely into a direct address to the listener.

    That repetition makes the vocal function as part of the dance groove rather than a story that needs to progress.
