Ice My Friday
We moved a little up-tempo yesterday.. let’s keep it that way.
Today we’ll hear some music by a class afro-funk group, Ice. They’re featured on several compilations, including Harmless’ Africafunk Volumes 1 and 2 and Comet Record’s aptly-titled, Racubah… but never played here on Benn loxo.
I don’t care if you’ve heard it already. It’s the end of the week, we’re all tired, and I need some bright brass and driving drums to get me moving.
Time Will Tell was original released by Epic in 1976.. the jacket, as you see to the left, is supah. Is that Geddy Lee in the middle or am I seeing things?
And does anyone have Ice’s 1970 release, Afro-Instrumental?
