This one goes out to those you of who commented me about Demon Fuzz......
Cymande were an eclectic band who released a few albums in the early 1970's. They arrived in London, England from Guyana and Jamaica and developed a subtle, deep funk style heavily influenced by calypso rhythms, jazz, African music, and American soul. By the mid '70s the band members were going their separate ways. It wasn't until 20 years later that they reaped any financial rewards, as their music became a popular source for samplers. Perhaps the band's best known recording is the soulful dancefloor groove "Bra", later sampled by the American hip-hop group De La Soul in their song "Change In Speak" (from "3 Feet High & Rising"), and by Def Jef on "Give It Here", and by DJ Kool on "Let Me Clear My Throat". The Fugees sampled "Dove" for the title track of their second album, "The Score" in 1996. The list goes on and on, and it's obvious why: Cymande are the shit. :)
Here are their 1st 2 full albums, "Cymande" (1972) and "Second Time Around" (1973).
(If anyone is interested in the 3rd Cymande album, and some bonus tracks, let me know!)

You got it... Look out for 'em!
Thanx for the great post!
i was SERIOUSLY looking forward to hearing this, only to find the files were m4A format after I'd downloaded it...bummer. Same story with a few other downloads from this (otherwise AWESOME) blog. Is there a way to know before I download something if it is in this format? (I don't do iTunes, and don't feel like downloading software to convert it to mp3...) Thanks and cheers!
Sorry, Bionic Ninja. I didn't realize that format was a problem for some. I usually try and use mp3 format as that seems to be universal. And sometimes my links are posted by other people, but have worked for me. Thanks for diggin' the site anyhow! Cheers! PEACE.1.D.
