Ice - Bobo Step / Time Will Tell

A great 45, especially for "time will tell" track in a afro funk disco way, by this band known for changing their name many times (Ice, Captain Dax, Krispie And Company, Lafayette Afro Rock Band, Wall Of Steel...).

Darkest Light - The Best Of The Lafayette Afro-Rock Band (1st edition)

Darkest Light - The Best Of The Lafayette Afro-Rock Band
(CD/2xLP) Strut STRUTCD/LP003, 1999-07-31

"Darkest Light is the first ever retrospective of one of the '70s most influential bands. Recorded in Paris and New York under the production guidance of Pierre Jaubert ("Berjot"), the Lafayettes were a jazz-based super session group that created a heavy, dense, no compromise ghetto funk that has since been sampled by everyone from Public Enemy to Wreckz 'N' Effect. This album brings together the essential tracks from their two studio albums as well as a selection of tracks as their earlier incarnation, Ice, and is the first official collection of their work ever in the UK."
