The person commenting on Golden Stone thats a bad tune it reminds you of Chicago & the Guitar solo reminds me of the late Terry Kath { original Guitarist from Chicago} the tune is real nice it also has elements of Blood Sweat & Tears in it as well.
Hey, who ever posted this, you know music. It's a shame that my brothers and sisters have ot live in country; or society where we have to have tried so hard for "our" music has to be accepted. This one I never acknowledged. Love, peace and blessings to all of you. We will live forever..
This is one of Mandrills ways of Singing Instrumentally. They went unrecognized and never got their due credit. A lot of people just didn't know, I did, back then and now.
@MELODEE53 Right on to it all Brother plus on top of that Regular Radio couldn't handle this kind of Music Underground Radio maybe but not the other formats.
This is a great side by Mandrill, one of the most unappreciated bands of that era. I believe this tune was inspired by their visit to the Tangier Jazz Festival (Tangier Morocco) in 1972. I was at that concert and Mandrill rocked it. I remember they had to move the show inside because of the weather. The chosen venue had great acoustics, however, and we had a blast. Oh man! What energy was in that place. I still love Mandrill and keep them on rotation.
This song is as close to perfection as you can get. Another brilliant Mandrill creation where all the parts just fit together like a glove. I still remember hearing this song for the first time a few years back, and being completely floored. So ahead of their time - bands like Mandrill don't come around every day!!!
My very first concert as a teenager was Mandrill.Saw them years later in Nashville,they opened up for the Funkadelics and at the end of the delics set Mandrill came from the back of the auditorium and up on stage and they all jammed the Cosmic Slop......the place was smoking ! ...I was smoking too ! I tell my son about how in the 70's we had so much fun back then,and how we listen to the best music. The 70's was the best of the best !
like it. mind soothing, relaxing. slows down the pace. need more sounds like this to take the edge off, and help you get where you need to be. Thanks Mandrill.
I stumbled onto this song maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Not too sure how. I feel like either 9th Wonder or Phonte made reference to it. But it became one of my morning tunes. It's like all of your sense are opened...
@eric601d This song was released in 1972 off of Mandrill's Composite Truth album. Also on that album were their hit: Fencewalk,Mango Meat, Polk Street Carnival,Don't Mess With People & Hagalo. This is my favorite Mandrill song of all time. I love the tenor sax solo from 3:48 thru the end. This song showed that Mandrill was a multi-fsceted group.I must concur with you synopsis also. DEEP.
@swt32567 Mango Meat was not on this album. Hang Loose, Golden Stone and Out With the Boys rounded out the lineup. I was 11 and obsessed with a 12-year-old named Patty and it seemed this song was moving me towards her. Then my sister took this album off to college and Patty moved away and it was the first time I ever dealt with heartbreak. So I know of what I speak because Composite Truth took me through my first emotional lifecycle. NOW CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST GOLDEN STONE???
From a Naptown Bro to another, I wish I was there with you and Raymond too, ogsparky! This is my first time ever hearing this cut from Mandrill and it's got me in another state of mind at the moment. A cut this smooth should be a felony!
I have the Composite Truth album. I love this song! It's so smooth and funky. All those rhythms and melodic grooves come together and make something beautiful. I miss music like this.
This song was THE CUT. Listen to how all the isntruments are playing odd meter against each other. What a great tune. Makes me wanna go out and by a black light and a lava lamp. Mandrill was the shit. Whites, blacks and Latinos all grooved to their Afro/latin/funk repetoir. Wayahead of their time
Oh my! My! Indy...the 'Nap town' in the summer of 73. Thanks Raymond, U will always b my BOI! We kicked it, the Black Expo, Earth Wind and Fire, Billy Paul, tha 500 parade, them beautiful Indiana Ladies...even today at 53 I smile, we even kicked n Chitown, yes we did! Thank You, from deep in the heart of Texas, I send my gratitude! This was the CUT!
This is the CUT that inspired me to play the flute!! I bought a flute. I needed to feel this way again and again. Inspirational! MY FAVORITE. And as a teen I wanted to visit Morrocco too, at night, still do! LOL!! I wonder how is Omar Mesa of the group doing?
This was a sleeper on the Composite Truth album. This was one of the songs featured on W.H.U.R 96.3FM Howard University's Progressive Jazz Spotlight.This song really showcased Mandrill's versatillity. Just listen to the sax & guitar speak to you. Good song Great memories. Thanx for posting. P.S. the flute does a hella' job too.
This cold ..just heard it on 91.9WCLK, ATL I got Mandrill in my collection. but not exactly this ...its good 2hear good music on the radio.

Gracious I loved this one. 'Remember it well! 'Was so unusual even then...
Sound artists just don't conceive music in this way any longer. 'Sad. I mean, there was a story told to everything back then that these cats did.
And, well, Mandrill was just one of those groups that embraced the very Light-and-Sound itself.
