    Wow.. this album is one heavy slab of crystal clear funk.
    This band are probably most famed for the fantastic bass and flute workout that is 'burning spear'.
    Another song on here which is a work of genius is 'Soul', this was sampled to great affect by
    the Jungle Brothers for 'In Dayz 2 Come' on the Done By The Forces Of Nature album.
    All polished off with silky vocals courtesy of Lee Lovett, this album is an absolute must have from some funk heroes from the early 1970's.
