Urban Dance Squad - Mental Floss For The Globe

Review by Colin Sullivan

Urban Dance Squad's album Mental Floss For The Globe is a genre-bending masterpiece that blends elements of hip-hop, rock, funk, and jazz into a unique and dynamic sound. Released in 1989, the album was ahead of its time and remains a landmark in the history of alternative music.

The album opens with the explosive track "Deeper Shade of Soul," which showcases the band's energetic and eclectic style. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a variety of musical styles, from the funky "No Kid" to the hard-hitting "Good Grief."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Fast Lane," which features a catchy guitar riff and a memorable chorus. Another highlight is "Brainstorm on the UDS," which showcases the band's impressive musicianship and improvisational skills.
