Album Review
Renegades of Funk, released in 2005, is 2000's Soul of Rasta — also released by the Newhouse label — in expanded form. The earlier set was a perfectly adequate anthology of Cymande's three '70s albums, but this one adds a pair of "unreleased bonus tracks" (the poor "Trevorgus" and the decent "Bird"), in addition to album cut "Zion I." If you want the whole picture, there's the Sequel (U.K.) release The Message, which combines the band's three albums onto two discs, but this 16-track disc does contain most of the essentials ("Bra," "The Message," "Dove," "Brothers on the Slide").

The Message is: Buy this now.
by djneedlzUnless having a really, really good time is against your religion, you need this album in your life. Cymande were architects of basslines, carpenters of funk. Has an almost Carribean/Afrobeat feeling to a lot of it, with some sunny soul supporting the beat.
Amazing
by Hella DaveThis is a great album that is sampled by tons of hip hop acts from the late 80s early 90s. I was doing some carpentry one night with some friends and they played this album. I found myself grooving along knowing most of the songs from the samples I had heard before. This is the unfiltered source,and a must have. enjoy
Cymande...
by Jah FreshOne of my favorite albums ever. From top to bottom the whole thing just grooves. Don't just buy one song... buy the whole album if you can, it is worth it.
