Herbie Hancock - Future Shock

I feel as if I'm being taken back to the 80's with funky grooves and crazy synthesizer riffs. Overall a pretty fun album to listen to though, it is very different from the early Miles Davis contemporary jazz, and the recent Medeski Martin and Wood Acid Jazz. The mix of distorted electric guitar, turntable scratches, and female backup vocalists really is entertaining. It seems as though this would fit along with some of the backing tracks of the early hip hop albums. I just can't get away from the fact that it feels as if I am in the 80's when I listen to this CD, but I am somehow alright with that.
