Herbie Hancock - 'Vibe Alive (Extended Dance Mix)' from Perfect Machine (1988)

Kind of the ultimate 1988 Herbie Hancock Roller Disco Experience??? I wish this song wasn't so boy -> girl focused but I can picture the lazers and the dry ice and the mirrored reflections so perfectly. Electro Hancock is so great always. This is by far not my favorite song on the album but the obvious brutality of Laswell's sample placements work to disorient so heavy. 1988 was the year I WORE OUT my M/A/R/R/S Cassingle too!!! <3 PS - I think THIS is my favorite song on Perfect Machine because of its lyrical-yet-synthetic vibe despite not featuring the vocoder as much as I dream:
