Brass Construction?

I found 2 of their albums in the dollar bins this past weekend. I don't think i'd ever seen these guys before. They looked ill enough, mid '70's, funk style. so i get home and there's like an album worth of samples on there. Bass solos, drums, the whole shizz. Whats up with them? Anything i should know about them?

They were massive over here in UK in the '70s.

Randy Muller did loads of other stuff as well like the band Skyy on Salsoul. He is still working at the moment, involved in some projects with Kenny Dope.
Perhaps you should chop those samples up very small!

there records are a dime a dozen , not something I would sample if you want clearence.

yeah it seemed too good to be true. i'm still grabbing the drums and the bass, but i'll make it mine, don't worry, not that you would.

i have only come across the ones from the 80's , but we have some of there later stuff and it's pretty nice.

My Brother picked up Attitudes, cuz he sed they looked crazy-It had some nice stuff on it-so i did some research on them i found that everyone from Primo to Dr Dre used there joints---Check NWA's "I aint tha 1"- that samples a joint off their 3rd album--that'll give u an idea of there music style... Also like featherboy sed Randy Mueller did production,mixing, and arranging for mad other soul/funk/jazz groups in tha 70's and 80's---most notably is BT Express-----them cats is FONKYYYY.

word, thanks
