In a just world, Demon Fuzz would have been very successful. Sadly, however, the only real success they enjoyed is the fact that many club DJs now use their samples frequently. Although the band played most of the British underground festivals in the early seventies, Demon Fuzz were simply too way-out to make a significant impact on the college crowd and as a result they broke up after 18 months on the scene. Released in 1970 the band’s only album, the extraordinary Afreaka!, demonstrates their excellence in playing psychedelic soul, dub-heavy funk, progressive rock, Afro-jazz and black acid rock. Demon Fuzz these days are amongst the most bootlegged and sampled bands from the early 70s British underground. This re-release, which includes the stunning and rare EP that at the time was released along with the album, tells the band’s full story for the first time ever.

Music 5 stars!!! Lyrics 0 stars!!!!!,
This review is from: Afreaka! (Audio CD)
This album is one of the greatest albums I have ever heard musically;they have a Santana mixed with the J.B.s mixed a little with Booker T and the MGS with lots and lots of Jazz sensibilities style that keeps you hooked; and the way the pace of the songs keep changing is also influential.However,putting the music aside;the lyrics are atrocious and are very unintentionally hillarious for example in the song 'Hymn to Mother Earth' which is an ode to our lovely planet they say stuff like 'Im gonna make you mine!' and 'of all the planets you are the best' which is what you might expect from a 12 year old who has just smoked a blunt and was told to write a poem for his school!But, they keep you laughing which is good for enough for me!'Find yourself another country!' is another example hehehe!

Demon Fuzz were an early 1970s horn rock band. They released one album on Dawn, Pyes' progressive subsitiary. This is that album and the CD throws in an extended play singleThis is not funk in the strict sense. They are horn rock, but don't let that mislead you. They lean more towards the progressive tendancies of Ten Wheel Drive than the singles work of post-1973 Chicago or Blood Sweat and Tears after the second album, That is evident on the first track, a long jazz blues jam which rests, aptly enough, on fuzz bass. The albums continues with a heavier version of Electric Flag's "another country." Of all the horn bands from this era, Demon Fuzz may be the most influanced by acid rock and not soul or jazz. They have defineately have absorbed the Hendrix' intagration of all forms of African American music with hard rock. Great album

This review is from: Afreaka! (Audio CD)
What a great find this CD was, "Disillusioned" is worth the price alone.This album is so heavy, a few of the youngsters around today could surely learn a few things about how real music is supposed to go down. I only wish I could of witnessed such a band live! Really impressive prog rock funk!
