Life With You

from the 12” single, Leader Records, 1982



Fuck man, there is nothing like the pulsing thud of an 808 is there!?! This track absolutely destroyed dancefloors upon its release back in ’82, long before the glory days of house and techno would re-discover Roland’s mighty 808; hell, it sounds fresh even now, almost 30 years later. The touches of electric piano and guitar accentuate the affair effortlessly, and you gotta love that evil robot vocoder asking us, “…what else can you do…what more can you do?”
