A band (named after a great Rahsaan Roland Kirk LP) formed by Gareth Sager and Bruce Smith, the jazz/bohemian axis of The Pop Group. On paper, it was meant to be free jazz with a funky base, but only pianist Mark Springer had the chops to pull it off; you were often left with both lame jazz and lame funk. Occasionally Neneh Cherry would do vocals, like on "You're My Kind of Climate". The band was often cooler than the actual music.
