10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Review: After a brief stint as a founding member and saxophonist for English punks X-Ray Spex, Lora Logic split off and founded a group of her own in 1978 with Essential Logic. During their initial run, Essential Logic were influential in creating the sound of post-punk, with eccentric song structures, crude but fun sax playing, and melodies that swung quickly between whimsical and anxious. Essential Logic released just one album, 1979’s Beat Rhythm News, before splitting in 1981, but Logic continued working on music sporadically as the band’s legacy and influence grew. Never released in America, this is a stunning record that remains a benchmark of the punk era. From the bubbling, herky-jerky rhythms of “Quality Crayon Wax OK” to the gleeful honking of “Wake Up,” this is the sound of five young English musicians disassembling rock & roll and remaking it in an entirely new way. It’s more than just a different way of playing music; it, like the best punk rock, fills you with the feeling of being able to change the world. An underrated record of its time, it remains criminally overlooked by critics even today (with such notable exceptions as Greil Marcus and Jon Savage), as the history of punk is finally being written. — bandcamp
