Monster - Herbie Hancock - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Monster finds Herbie Hancock deep in his late‑70s/early‑80s electro-funk era, pushing jazz virtuosity straight onto the dancefloor. Released in 1980, this record leans unapologetically into disco, boogie, and synth-heavy R&B, but it never loses the restless curiosity that defines Hancock’s best work. Instead of heady acoustic solos, you get rubbery bass lines, tight rhythm guitar, and a thick bed of analog synths that feel both neon-lit and slightly futuristic. Vocals and hooks take a front seat, yet underneath the polish you can hear the meticulous arranging and harmonic twists that only a seasoned jazz innovator would bother to sneak into a party record. For collectors, Monster captures a fascinating moment: a legend of 60s post-bop and 70s fusion fully engaging with club culture, not as a trend-chaser but as a sound designer obsessed with groove. It sits comfortably alongside Sunlight and Feets, Don’t Fail Me Now as part of Hancock’s most dance-oriented period. If you love the crossroads where jazz intelligence meets body-moving funk and disco sheen, this album earns its place on your shelf—and on your turntable at high volume.
