Their legendary 2nd LP!
Demon Fuzz is the brainchild of Paddy Corea, born during his musical
sojourn in Africa (Morocco 1968). The idea was to blend all the
musical influences & poly-rhythmic styles he had experienced, from
sax to the 'steel pan', vibes, guitar,flute, jazz, reggae,
classical, Indian raga, blues, suffi Arabic sounds, ska, calypso,
Ethiopian church music, African highlife, kwela music,Joe
Harriot-Shake Keane Indo-Jazz Fusions. All these influences
synthesized into Demon Fuzz.We wrote some, we borrowed some, but
we constructed a new sound, different from all the other black bands in
England at the time, so much so Demon Fuzz became the prototype of a
new musical genre in England, baptized as Afro-Rock by the legendary
Eddie Grant and Paddy Corea. We used different time signatures 6/8,
3/4, 4/4, 5/4, and several types of rhythms,different movements
in the same piece (like classical works), used steel-band type bass
and blues harmonics in some passages, African drumming even
early rap (Biafra , Our World Today).We inspired a new breed of
bands after 1969, Spear, Cymande, Protoplazm, Batti-Mamselle,
Assagai, Noir, The New-Tonics, even Osibisa, and many more.
