Brass Construction II
rdfs:comment
Brass Construction II is the second album by American funk-disco band Brass Construction, released in October 1976 by United Artists Records. Recorded with producer Jeff Lane, it followed the success of the group's self-titled 1975 album. Band leader Randy Muller sought to diversify the group's sound, aiming for a "multi-dimensional" approach with disparate musical influences, including styles of Latin, reggae and Afro-Cuban music, and more specific lyrical topics, with each of the songs featuring a subtitle that Muller said defined each track.

"All of our songs were statement songs. Basically we only had to chant something like six words and then you read between the lines. You could take it to whatever was happening in your life at that time. [...] A song like 'What's on Your Mind,' that could mean saying what's on your mind to your woman, to your boss, one of your friends who you have to say something to. We left it open for a person to use it for whatever he wanted it to do."

Brass Construction II is the second album by American funk-disco band Brass Construction, released in October 1976 by United Artists Records. Recorded with producer Jeff Lane, it followed the success of the group's self-titled 1975 album. Band leader Randy Muller sought to diversify the group's sound, aiming for a "multi-dimensional" approach with disparate musical influences, including styles of Latin, reggae and Afro-Cuban music, and more specific lyrical topics, with each of the songs featuring a subtitle that Muller said defined each track. Released to a positive reception from music critics, who hailed the album's upbeat sound, Brass Construction II reached number 26 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart and was certified Gold for selling 500,000 copies in the United States. The single "Hot Cha Cha (Funktion)" was a hit in the US and UK. While Muller initially was pleased with the album's sales, he later expressed how he felt the album under-performed commercially due to the album's diverse style. The album has since been credited for helping inspire the acid jazz movement, while retrospective reviews of the album have been favourable. In 2009, Brass Construction II was re-released by Soul Brother Records.
