They had much more success on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, with nine chart entries, including "Movin'," which hit #1.

Brass Construction has never been a band to fall back on past success...

That's why during the past years it has claimed its share of gold and platinum albums. Now, there's Reconstruction the group's newest project.

Traveling constantly, crisscrossing three continents, and touring with successful acts such as the Jackson's, Q'Jays, Earth Wind and Fire, Commordores and Parliament Funkadelics. A blend of friction and finesse, Brass Construction's music mixes an array of uncompromising hard-hitting funk rhythms with guitars, horns and striking keyboard passages.

Coming off a major CD hit "The Best Of Brass Construction" on the Capital EMI label. The "Brass Boy's" bounce back stronger than ever with Reconstruction their newest project.
