专辑介绍
by John Bush
Apparently learning from the mistakes of its debut, Mandrill crafted a follow-up with fewer stylistic detours than the first record, but much more energy and greater maturity. The two singles, &Ape Is High& and &Git It All,& are unhinged performances from all involved that have the sense of musical invigoration so key to a funk band -- and so sorely lacking on this band's debut. &Children of the Sun& is a somber, flute-led piece, much more assured and better-conceived than anything on its first record (it also showed how well Mandrill could've done soundtracking a blaxploitation film). The guitars are much more prominent on Mandrill Is; in fact, both &Git It All& and &Here Today Gone Tomorrow& have passages almost reminiscent of metal's heavy riffing. The first two compositions from Claude &Coffee& Cave are big successes, &Cohelo& being a traditional Latin form and &Kofijahm& a tribal funk piece. Not everything works, however: the spoken-word piece &Universal Rhythms& is a tad over-ripe, with a raft of unpoetic, pseudo-mystical nonsense over backing from an angelic choir.
