Mandrill - Composite Truth flac album

Composite Truth is the third album by Brooklyn-based soul/funk band Mandrill. Released in 1973 on Polydor Records, the album reached No. 8 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart. All songs written and arranged by Mandrill. Don't Mess With People" 3:45. Polk Street Carnival" 6:03. Out With The Boys" 5:09. Moroccan Nights" 5:42. Carlos Wilson - trombone, alto saxophone, flute, guitar, vocals.

Composite Truth is Mandrill’s most successful album, commercially as well as artistically. Although the band’s sense of freewheeling experimentation had been tempered, its gradual transition to a straight-ahead funk band was made perfect with two of the biggest hits of its career: Hang Loose and Fencewalk. Elsewhere, Mandrill turns in a very convincing impression of a salsa band ( Hágalo ), breaks into killer loose-groove funk ( Don’t Mess With People, with a splendidly undecipherable vocal), and stumbles only with the long, rasta-fied San Francisco tribute Polk Street Carnival, featuring a bass part that would make even a student smirk. For such a strong band, Mandrill’s basslines were often weak.

Composite Truth is Mandrill's most successful album, commercially as well as artistically. Although the band's sense of freewheeling experimentation had been tempered, its gradual transition to a straight-ahead funk band was made perfect with two of the biggest hits of its career: "Hang Loose" and "Fencewalk. For such a strong band, Mandrill's basslines were often weak. In the main, the songs on Composite Truth were catchier than on its first two albums, and the band never appeared subservient to the sense of experimentation that had troubled it before. Even if on Composite Truth Mandrill sounded more like other funk bands of the time, no one could argue with the fact that the results were more exciting and consistent.

Maybe they went for a Composite Truth and you should be aiming in the middle of the two extremes. In either case, the album is still a very strong one with plenty of instrumental interplay space and it would manage very healthy sales. Line-up-wise, the bassist spot has been handed over to Fudgie Kaye who would be around for the next three albums.
