Lakeside

Released in 1980, Fantastic Voyage was Lakeside's fourth album, and the title track (later remade by Coolio) earned them their first No. 1 single. Flipping a funkdafied, post-disco vibe similar to Zapp's (both acts hail from Dayton, Ohio), Lakeside's groove-heavy selections still light up dancefloors today.

Surprise--the fast ones are fun, the slow ones aren't. Fast ones might be even more fun if this weren't a band that praises Toto (the dog, but I think they're funning) in the same stanza with James Brown. Slow ones might be some fun if the singers had the style (skill's not the problem) to convey why they bother. (Grade - B)
