SYNCOPATED BEETS!
Apocryphal anecdote - Miles Davis made his band listen to and study one track from Sly’s Fresh repeatedly for an entire night. I’d like to think it was the opening track, “In Time.” Notice halfway through when the volume dips real low. I reason it’s an unintended effect of the amount of overdubs made on tape, no doubt due to Sly Stone’s almost crippling perfectionism. Either that or he let a child helm the mixing board.
