You can see the original article here

and for my friends who don’t speak japanese, here’s a translation:

“Phat Phanktion, from Madison, Wisconsin, is a “brass funk band”, powered by its sharp-edged horn section. The horns, consisting of sax, trombone, and two trumpets, together with a tight rhythm unit full of groove, as well as deep chorus ensemble provide the warm yet powerful groove throughout. The band has common distinctive features with, yet rivals or surpasses, Tower of Power, which made its mark on the 70’s west coast scene. It is a surprising fact that a band with such authority exists today.

This is the band’s fourth album, after some member changes from their previous release. It is obvious that the member changes caused no negative impact, which is proven as soon as you hear the opening song “You Want It All”. From there on, relaxed “With You” through the closing EWF cover of “Jupiter”, the entire album is glorious and fun!”

YES! I always strive for “no negative impact” 😉
