Yo, Mandrill plays some really groove based instrumental stuff, as well as some stuff with vocals. They're really hot, but unfortunately I can't think of any song titles off the top of my head. My buddy knows all their stuff, so I'll repost with some titles, but I know that he got a whole bunch of stuff off of Kazza, or whatever that site is. | |

Man, Whatever you do, Get Mandrill's tune Fencewalk!! It can be on a greatest hits, their Composite Truth album , or a compilation, but own that tune!!  You'll recognize it when you hear it....

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm [Edited 2/3/05 13:17pm] I couldn't say much more that what was said here, this covers it all. A powerful group with heavy drums and bass, basically ALL MEAT, No FAT. We aren't going to get many bands like this anymore where their music is so full, deep and rich. Follow the avice here and get into them. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

So when they said "Git It All", you took that literally.

My jam is "Wind On Horseback" I think it's on one of the albums not on cd. I have the original album still. My cousin is Claude "Coffee" Cave...my parents used to take me to see them live all of the time. You know the 70's, music, herb, and so on and so on...

This is a band that PFunk opened for live. So criminally underrated it's mind boggling. They convincingly switch gears on a dime. Get some Mango Meat! This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
