There's absolutely nothing wrong with this chill Rhodes groove from Kait Dunton, along with Jake Reed, of mild YouTube notoriety as the supreme master of dead drums.

No space music should be allowed without a flex-a-tone.

JAZZ-FUNK/FUSION. #DanielBechet – Songs to My Father (1979). Jazz-funk/fusion album by French percussionist Daniel Bechet, son of #SidneyBechet.

Listen to this cosmic nugget, with bass clarinet, flute, Rhodes, chorused bass, and a wonderfully time-specific synth string ensemble.

My morning coffee soundtrack. Nostalgia – it's like an extra-mellow Bob Ross theme tune.

FLEX-A-TONE. I keep a list of #flexatone (flex-a-tone) tracks. It's a fun metallic percussion instrument.

All of them are from the '70s – this is the only one from the '80s so far, and it only makes a guest appearance from the 2:15 mark. I loved when incidental soundtrack music sounded like this. We need a young #MikePost!
