It's always nice to hear an older style of music done well by a modern band or group. In the case of this eight-piece ensemble from Leeds called The Haggis Horns, that style is 70's deep funk. Beginning with a triumphant start in "Return Of The Haggis", each and every that follows on this record is brimming with jazzy horns, and underlying bass that provides a perfect backbone. Occasionally, though, some songs may overstay their welcome a bit. While it's certainly not reinventing the wheel, it's a good listen, flowing with positive vibes and a feel-good attitude. Essentially, if you want some good modern funk that is not only well rooted within the old 70's style, but is also immediately accessible and danceable, then What Comes To Mind is a record you're going to want to check out.
