The Incredible Bongo Band - Bongo Rock - The Story Of IBB

They say the best results in life come through happy accident, and in the case of The Incredible Bongo Band's Bongo Rock this philosophy couldn't be any more conclusive. Formed by MGM A&R Michael Viner in 1972 to supplement the soundtrack to the virtually anonymous B film "The Thing With Two Heads", The IBB went from loose studio collective to an instrumental pop covers consortium, interpreting classics of the day in their own inimitable percussive fashion. Contained is the two original albums produced by Viner and Perry Botkin Jnr, that feature the Hip-Hop National anthem "Apache", adjacent to a host of rhythmic instrumentals that utilise some of the hottest drummers of the day, including Jim Gordon and King Errisson. Spanning between melodic horn led interludes, Hammond swells and razor sharp electric guitars each track has its own literal bongo breakdown with enough beats and pieces to satisfy the most hungry of S3000's, and retro junkies alike. Falling somewhere amid library music and timpani funk this is another valuable lesson in the history of the music industry courtesy of re-issue specialists Strut.
