Mandrill - Mandrill (Timeless #20)

One of the funkiest soul bands in the 70's.  Listen to the tightness of the band, the rhythm, the percussion, and the funkiness....Why don't we have this kind of band today???

Mandrill - Mandrill (Mandrill, 1970)


Mandrill - I refuse to smile (IS, 1972)

Dark Side of the Moon (Timeless #19)

After all these years (1973), this song is still amazing. The whole concept of the album, from cover design to the song arrangement, it is just truly amazing.
What was in these people heads back then?? This is what music is all about, with depth, feeling and power.
