A cosmic funk retrospective from the former Slave frontman, Way Out (80–84) brings together rare solo cuts and previously unreleased grooves recorded between 1980 and 1984. With spiritual undertones, synth‑heavy arrangements and Arrington’s unmistakable interstellar soul, this compilation captures the transition from Dayton funk into deeper, exploratory electro‑R&B. Pressed on standard black vinyl and housed in a minimalist sleeve, it’s an essential collector‑grade release for fans of boogie, spiritual soul and early ’80s cosmic funk.
