. Afreaka! was the only release by Demon Fuzz. Released in 1970, Afreaka! is a wild mash of Afro-Latin funk, breakbeats, tripped-out soul,
jazz fusion, and psychedelic journeying. These seven black musicians took on everything that was happening, and were musicians enough
to make it work for them. Most tracks run in the eight- and nine-minute range and get down with tough drums at the core,
with rhythmic shifts happening on a grooved dime. Killer horns, Hammond B-3s, electric guitars, and deep tough slinky
funky bass all wind together to create a mix so utterly intoxicating and fluid that it's difficult to take in one listen -- check out
the Eastern mode sax solo on "Another Country" or the stomp-and-slide greasiness of "Past Present and Future."
There's also a fine extended voodoolicious psych-soul cover of Ray Harris' R&B classic "Mercy" (subtitled "Variation No. 1").
This is the real deal -- solid, freaky-deaky, and groove-centric. Not to be missed...(AllMusic)
