Bongolian

Temporarily Out Of Stock

LP (Item 53660) Blow Up (UK), 2002 -- Condition: New Copy

A feast of funky mod instrumentals from the great Bongolian! This grooooooovy London combo takes the best bits of the 60s and 70s, rolls them into a tight retro approach that includes organ, clavinet, flute, guitar, timbales, vibes, and of course, plenty of bongo work -- with a sound that's lean, stripped down, stepping out like some of the best instrumental tunes from Quincy Jones or Lalo Schifrin soundtracks, mixed with the headiness of the UK Go-Go Blow Up scene. The album's a killer -- way better than we even expected -- and it feels like the best bits from 25 60s instrumental albums all rolled into one 10 track gem! Titles include "Dirt Sweat & Bones", "Bonghead", "Merve Plays Vibes", "Rollin With You", "Flight Through The Five Galaxies", "The Shackles Of Ramm", "Champagne & Pizza", "Madman In Africa", and "The Fatback Showdown".  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
