3PM - Better Late than Never, 1981 [FLAC limited time only]

 






For sure I completely forgot about this one, suggested by a commenter recently, it's a one-off from this instrumental fusion band from North Carolina, and it features front and center Jerry Peak, who plays bass and synths on there, handling most of the compositions too, who was on the Pruett and Davis Time's Arrow.  There is some of that early 80s slapped-bass smooth 'n' funky fuzak sound in there (eg Brecker Bros) but it's minimized, thankfully.

The title track is great, amazingly it even has a thumping Crimsonesque passage (like their Mars) in the middle--too bad there isn't more like this on the record:

  4. Thanks, Julian.

    The 3pm album is really good. Reminded me of Level F's 'A Stitch in Time'.

  5. Jerry Peek (3pm) and David Ragsdale (Kansas), both have relation to Pruett & Davis, played together in Ragsdale's solo album below. Though it may be too pop for the people here.
