.. The Mood / / 2 On 1
Description:
2009 release containing a pair of albums from one of Funk's most progressive outfits: New Worlds (1978) and Getting in the Mood (1980). The band blends Soul, Funk, Jazz and Latin Music into a heady brew, creating some of the most outstanding funktastic sounds around. While these two albums lean more towards the Soul side of things, there's still enough Funk in there to satisfy the aficionados. 16 tracks.
"New Worlds/Getting In The Mood" on CD brings together two classic albums by the innovative funk band Mandrill, reissued by SOUL BROTHER for a new generation of soul and jazz-funk listeners. Expect a sophisticated blend of funk, soul, Latin elements and jazz-tinged arrangements, with tight horn sections, dynamic grooves and rich vocal harmonies that show Mandrill's adventurous musical approach. The sound moves between deep, rhythmic funk, cinematic, almost soundtrack-like passages and melodic, danceable songs, creating a multifaceted listening experience that still feels fresh and contemporary. This CD edition is aimed at collectors and connoisseurs who value high-quality reissues and want to rediscover Mandrill's creative period in a coherent, well-presented package.
Mandrill are known as one of the most eclectic and boundary-pushing bands of the 1970s funk and soul era. The group built its reputation on a powerful fusion of funk, soul, Latin, rock and jazz influences, complemented by socially conscious lyrics and complex arrangements. Over the years, they have earned cult status among DJs, producers and groove aficionados, and their tracks have often been rediscovered and sampled in later decades. Their albums from the 1970s in particular are regarded as milestones of cross-genre funk, with Mandrill praised for their musical versatility and energetic performances both in the studio and on stage.
SOUL BROTHER is a respected specialist label and retailer focusing on soul, jazz-funk, rare groove and related styles, with a strong reputation among collectors. Known for carefully curated reissues, detailed mastering work and a strong respect for the original recordings, SOUL BROTHER aims to keep key albums and lesser-known gems alike available in high sound quality.
