Funk Marathon Volume 5


Hot on the heels of volume 4 I'm coming at ya with a fifth endurance event. Funk Marathon 5 is another epic. Of course there are some breaks in here that have been sampled to fame. Others are pretty gosh-darn-obscure. This is a collection which will have your head nodding for hours. Like 8 hours and 26 minutes. I did these lengthy compilations about 5-6 years ago and I find myself going back to them all the time. I hope these funk marathons get the same kind of love in your collection, now and years down the road. To appease my wise, sagey critics I am going to quit pontificating now and let the music speak for itself. Download it here --
