Midnight Star – Freak-A-Zoid (US 12″ Promo)

Posted by DjPaulT on 4th August 2010

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

Side A Label

This classic electro track is where the well worn vocoder sample “Please Report to the Dancefloor” originates from. “Freak-A-Zoid,” was the first single taken from Midnight Star’s fourth album, No Parking on the Dance Floor, released in 1983, it took them to the top of the charts peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 1983.

The reason that this PROMO version is so great is the fact of the B side. Its called Instrumental, but actually its all Vocoder, and missing all the normal vocals. Making this a pure electro vocoder claassic.
