Album Notes

The Retrophonic Funk Machine (RFM) is a nine-piece instrumental jazz-funk band from Dunedin, New Zealand. Active between 2005-2008, the band gathered a large following both at home and on the road, a credit to its energetic live show. This saw RFM take the stage at several music festivals, and perform with some of New Zealand's finest acts.

Operating Manual was released in late 2007, and showcases RFM's special blend of funk. Led by a four-piece horn section (trumpet, trombone and saxes) and driven by a full rhythm section (keys, guitar, bass, kit and percussion), Operating Manual is dynamic, with a simmering groove, alternately explosive and refined.

RFM ended with an amicable split in 2008, as members spread to different parts of the world. There is another planned release from recording sessions in 2008, with no firm time frame.

Perfect!

An excellent full-length CD from an excellent band, with some generous slices of funk in the 7-9 minute range. My favourite track is the spacey-sounding song Golden Moments, which captures the band having a bit of fun in the studio. A great way to add a bit of variety and conclude the album.
