Edited 2 years agoIf any record deserves the AAA Kevin Gray Pallas/GRP treatment it's this masterpiece.
-
This album that has never left my record box.
I had a weekly pub residency for 3 years and Dove was always the first track in every DJ set. -

If anyone ever comes across an empty jacket they’d be willing to part with ive got a disc that is missing one! -
Edited 17 years agoCymande's first album is a must. Shaped on multi-cultural quality music, it stood the test of time through DJ charts, compilations & samples. "Dove", "Bra" and "The Message", three of the most specal tunes of this album were included on important selections such as 'Super Disco Brake's', 'Got To Get Your Own (Some Rare Grooves)', 'Mega Disco Funk', 'Blueprint - Digital Blueprint Of Soulful, Funky Grooves', 'Funk Rock', among others, including top House artist Little Louie Vega's compilation 'Choice - A Collection Of Classics'.
Based on fantastic instrumental arrangements, Cymande LP is an invitation to a deep musical journey: "Dove", for example, is very deep, soulful and has that introspective blend of Soul-Blues aura - the mood is based on Patrick Patterson's brilliant guitar solo and its dialog with Steve Scipio's bass, vocal chorus, sensual rhythms and Mike Rose's flute lines (it was sampled by Hip Hop acts such as Cash Crew, EPMD, Fugees, and others as well).
"Bra" and "The Message" were equally influential and had rich ensemble, all based on the most essential principle that makes music so special - art.
'The Message / Zion I' and 'Bra / Ras Tafarian Folk Song' got releases on seven inches.
