Cymande - Promised Heights '2007

Tracks list

 Cymande, Promised Heights is the unreleased back catalogue of Cymande
material. The tracks mainly come from Cymandes last LP recorded in 1974, also
entitled - Promised Heights, with the exception of Equatorial Forest, which
appears on the album Cymande - Renegades of Funk. The albums Promised Heights
and Renegades of Funk comprise Cymandes entire catalogue.

This album features three bonus tracks Friends, Our Love (Will Really Get
Going), and Mighty Heavy Load, and two nicely crafted reworks of Brothers on the
Slide, by Ruffy and Tuffy and Fug by The Greenskeepers. Cymande was an unique
and multi faceted group that created an amazing mixture of funk, jazz, soul, and
reggae. Promised Heights shows Cymande at their finest, recording their last LP
at Chess Studios. Cymande deserves those Promised Heights, not previously
granted to this group of future funk pioneers. Famously sampled by Biz Markie,
The Fugees, EPMD, and De La Soul. Cymandes universal timeless music should be
known by music lovers everywhere.
