Original Post (My first on MOG)..
ksiglutz,If you liked Headhunters, Check out Sextant (1972), too, for more afro-funk rhythms w/Herbie. More importantly seek out the same musicians minus Herbie on The Headhunters-Survival of the Fittest (1975). This space-funk-fusion slammer features the awesome breakbeat-vocal freakout,
God Make Me Funky.

Bonus material:
The funkiest track on Herbie's Sextant record is probably Hornets, but that bad boy is a 19 minute long electro-funk freakout, so I'll go with the relatively pithy, but no less freaky, Rain Dance. Folks didn't mind stretching it out in the 70's..

My premise for the post was a little off ...it seemed like I was saying the Sextant band was The Head Hunters, which it was not..oh well now that's all patched up. There's also a difference in the release year I listed originally ('72 instead of '73)...I was young and green back in '06. I will continue redoing these old school fixer-uppers cuz I can't bear the silent archive. Only a couple hundred to go. Also of note in the old post was how deadmandeadman busted my chops..that hasn't changed too much over the MOG years.

This is like the third or fourth time I have revisited this particular post since you wrote it ... I imagine I will return to it still, whether on mog or not.
I wasn't so much a fan of the Mog user experience, other than the streaming service ... this is so much simpler ... certainly a different audience. But I still can't claim to comment much on blogs. My energies are simply directed elsewhere at the moment.
It's all good Brother Nick...and any comments are appreciated. Hopefully, I'll feel less needy in the new digs:)
Just a clarification: when I said "user experience" I meant that more of in a "design/pleasant to use" sense ... of course that was never why one was at mog ;) It was my first online social thing as well.
I met you cause of it, so Cheers!
Oh and Rain Dance ... that opening is some straight up proto-techno, this some killa shit for sure.
