With all the obscure Grown & Sexy boogie, electro, disco of (Italo, Space, and funk) I collect, I shouldn't be stunned from this. Fact of the matter is, I'm not only stunned, I'm completely blown away! Say what you want, "C'mish" says everything is good." Funk dat, I tell it how it is. This isn't only an obscure electro funk record, it's a special re-issue from the tastemakers at Stones Throw and fully endorsed by PB Wolf himself. I collect kinds of horrid 80's electro funk in the "so bad its good" category such as Cameron Paul's "Don't Mess With Mind" and Richie Weeks' "I'm Your Next Door Neighbor" (you know these PB Wolf?), but I've never heard an album so unique as this. How do you categorize an electro/synth/pop/funk full LP from Omaha, Nebraska? Look at the pic sleeve. He looks all G&S but, it's called Planet Jumper! It's just Insane. Turn it over and you see he's using old school Yamahas synths like the DX-7(which I just bought and love), classic Rolands , classic Casios and EMU's. Throw in his off-the-planet lyrics, swanky singing style, and live guitars and you got a winner. Check "Planet Jumper(1)," "Megamix(2)," "My Money's Kinda Funny(3)," and "Ghost Dance(4)." From the label that brought you Gary Wilson, James Pants, and Captain Funkaho, this falls perfectly in line. Recommended for the dirty funksters. I'm getting two.
