I guess in a sense, yes, at least insofar as ESG was bridging (post?)rock and club music. The difference, of course, is the key role that this particular studio -- and its amazing house band/producers -- played in crafting a distinctive sound across so many different acts. That, to me anyway, makes all the acts on <i>Funky Nassau</i> seem/sound "of a piece," despite any aesthetic overlap with contemporaries. Good question, Will.
