ok i am just going to get into that awesome song INSANE, mainly the guitar parts. I count five different guitar patterns.first the main guitar riff, then the bass and picked guitar comes in playing almost the same line, then there is a lead guitar with a big fuzz tone. then one guitar in the middle and then two in harmony towards the end playing another staccato line.this song deserves a book on how it was produced.The drum line is dead on not fancy or over powering just perfect syncopation.It all came together on that song for me. Funk Is LIFE !!!

THIS is the CD I have been waiting for, for years ...
I only now realize it has been nearly 30-years that my brother had bought this album and taught me what true FUNK-music was.
This was our baseline - every album that came after that, was measured again this album, throughout all those FUNK-years!

All the way up in his attic room he would play "Insane" over his stereo and play it loud. The song starts with a teaser towards the true God of Funk, Sir Larry Blackmon. Once that intro reached me, I litterally went INSANE and climb up to his room
(sorry Peter, for wrecking your stereo cause of my freaky misbehaviour back then).
If you were there, when you witnessed the development of the true FUNK end seventies, but didn't know about this one - be glad you discovered in the new millenium after all! If you knew it back then and dare to do it again, just let them call out for "Larry" again and despite your age, dare to go INSANE!
In case you find it informative: I'm a whitey!

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally..., June 8, 2004

Old Funky Bastard (San Francisco, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ugly Ego (Audio CD)

This CD is for the fans of Cameo that KNOWS they were the tightest rythmn section on the scene in the late 70's.This CD is covers all bases. FUNK, BALLADS, GOSPEL... nothing is left unexplored and it is played to its funky MAX. The ballads are sung in the high tenor harmonies that made CAMEO an instant favorite. Wayne Cooper (R.I.P) and the crew threw it all in this CD.I was thrilled to finally be able to own this on CD. I have literally waited over 25 years to hear this recording without scratches, skips and/or pops.The true funksters will tell all their old school buddies that this CD is available... I'm reaching for the phone now!
