1LP Vinyl – TWM21

Calender released one album (It’s A Monster – 1976) which also includes the funk hit ‘Hypertension’ that perfectly represents the era when funk was on a a speeding train to Disco City. ‘It’s A Monster’ is a great slice of sophisticated, string laden funk. There’s more than enough real musicianship in the grooves, but enough grooves in the playing to get people out on the dance floor. The production and arrangement by Kyser is perfect; smooth but never slick. There are bits of synthesizer that add to the music, but they never overpower the sound.
