Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Peak (2010)

This damned thing represents in excess of a year's worth of scavanging on my part. I still remain clueless to why it was so elusive (barring, of course, ordering the thing from Japan to the tune of sixty+ dollars, shipping not included.) Anyway, I did the work, you reap the benefit. These guys can funk with the best of 'em, better than most actually. And they're Japanese.
"While 2008's eponymous debut strove to tear up dance floors, "Uhuru Peak" is all about playing it cool. Boasting a more predominately lounge vibe than its predecessor, tight, well-crafted grooves such as "Theme of Kilimanjaro" and "Super Jock Strut" are heavily accented with jazz in addition to the excellent 1970s throwback funk and soul that is the cornerstone of the band's sound."
