Rain falls, over my head

Mandrill: Two Sisters Of Mystery and Fat City Strut
From: Just Outside Of Town [Polydor 1973]

I had been wondering what I should write about for my first post on this here earfuzz, while contemplating to put up some obscure library material or some funk or soul, I asked myself what kind of sound are you people going to dig? Then one word came into my head 'FUZZ'. This led me to the first track on side two of Mandrill's album 'Just Outside Of Town'. Mandrill are a Latin funk band from New York, a popular band on the scene back in the seventies. Their music has an eclectic style ranging from Latin , soul, rock or funk. The track "Two sisters of mystery" is a solid piece of funk rock with a throbbing fuzz guitar leading you through the track, accompanied by some dope lyrics and horns, some of you Public Enemy fans will have heard the intro to this before. The second track Fat city strut shows how Mandrill could play music in different styles. The track is a solid, unrelenting funk jam, which has a little surprise chunk of Latin slapped in the middle of it. The LP also contains the classic track Mango meat which, unfortunately you'll have to go get the LP to hear. Click up top to soak in the goodness.
