Demon Fuzz

Cult Afro-rock/Afro-funk band Demon Fuzz didn't release much material during its brief existence in the 1970s, but the impact of that material has been immeasurable. Take "Afreaka!", their debut album: largely ignored upon its release, its five lengthy workouts have since been sampled hundreds of times. Check, for example, the meandering psychedelic guitar solos and jazz-rock grooves of "Past Present And Future", the Rare Earth style funk-rock pressure of "Disillusioned Man" and the intoxicating, organ-heavy environmentalist anthem that is "Hymn To Mother Earth".
