All-R&B/Soul Tuesday: Darkest Light: The Best Of Lafayette Afro-Rock Band
If you're not familiar with these dudes, they are responsible for the sax riff ("Darkest Light") on Public Enemy's "Show 'Em What'cha Got", Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got" and Wreckx-N-Effect's "Rump Shaker" and the main breakbeat on Biz Markie's "Nobody Beats the Biz" ("Hihache") amongst many samples from their music. Here's a primer on the re-release of their Best Of album:
"The Darkest Light: The Best Of Lafayette Afro-Rock Band compilation album was originally released on Strut 10 years ago and tells the story of the band from their early days as Ice including the key tracks from their two landmark albums Malik and Soul Makossa/Voodounon. The album also features tracks recorded under one-off pseudonyms for the Japanese market, Crispy & Co. and Captain Dax.
This updated edition of the compilation features two tracks previously unavailable on CD and features a 12-page booklet including the original compilation sleeve notes by James Maycock along with rare photos of the band at Parisound studios."
Lafayette Afro-Rock Band's Darkest Light: The Best Of Lafayette Afro-Rock Band will be re-released on February 17th. Here's a free download:
