CD Reviews70's Old School Funk - Fabulous! S. Jackson | Roanoke, VA | 03/26/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "My husband Loved it! It was a gift for his 40th birthday. We are from the old school and it's refreshing to know you can still find this stuff on Amazon so you can hear the original in all its glory! It's amazing how most of the songs have been sampled by today's artists a million times over and no one knows the history of who made them." Essential World Funk DW | chicago, IL | 01/24/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's strange the way I find great music. I first heard Cymande watching the Spike Lee movie 25th Hour on cable. I can't remember the plot but I do remember hearing just a piece of Cymande's song Bra being played in a club scene. From that bit alone I was hooked.
Cymande is a unique mixture of funk, reggae, African pop and American soul. At times they sound like Santana at other times it's Curtis Mayfield. But the combination of influences and the musicians' skill makes them unique. Bassist Steve Scipio deserves much credit for his targeted playing but an awesome horn section doesn't hurt either. Since this collection has all three albums Cymande made, it is essential. [DW]" |
