LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

CD-reissue of this funky album from 1977, recorded by the percussion-dominated UK group

A super-rare exotic oddity that was originally released on EMI in 1975, a strange hybrid of cultural and ethnic roots set in filmic arrangements

The fourth and final album from the studio-created combo who set out to cash in on the excitement around African music and particularly Osibisa but ended up making music that sounded like nothing else.

These final sessions include a unique play-off between African rhythms, Bond-styled melodies and funk-fuelled dance music on the tip of ‘Bongolia’
