Space Jungle Luv

Product Description
Space Jungle Luv was recorded and released in 1976 as the follow-up to Oneness' break-through African Rhythms set. The album ushered the band away from the dancefloor and into the realms of Sun Ra's cosmology, bringing modal jazz and ambient atmospherics into their musical mix. The funky basslines and African percussion remained but within a much more melodic setting showcasing the incredible vocals of Jackie Holoman-Lewis to the full.

Customer Reviews:

Brilliant afro-centric funk/Jazz.......2002-05-20

Oneness of Juju have quite a following on the other side of the pond and it has been quite refreshing to see some of their classic stuff being reissued. Space Jungle Luv is a real gem of an album and features some absolutely stunning vocals from Eka Ete on River Luv Rite and the absolutely mesmeric Love's Messenger.

Love's messenger is more akin to Soul/Jazz and you could even imagine Minnie singing along to it. To top it there is also an instrumental version. Echoes of George Clinton, EWF, Mandrill and all things funky but certainly with a difference. My daughter even got quite taken aback by River Luv Rite which is saying something as she tends to refer to this as screechy waily music. Overall an excellent album, well produced and funky with just the right amount of jazz for the jazzier amongst us.
