I ' ve seen most people opt for smart things over wink . May I ask what is drawing you towards wink ? I am going to be getting one of those and am curious about others opinion . <| sep |> You don ' t see how some people could think giving somebody with clinical depression access to firearms could be a bad idea ? Also part of the disconnect that people think owning a gun is a right . That just don ' t compute over here . <| sep |> Best guess ?

They arrived in London , England from Guyana and Jamaica and developed a subtle , deep funk style heavily influenced by Calypso rhythms , Jazz , African music , and American Soul . Cymande can now be seen as one of the most sophisticated of the heavy funk acts that evolved in the early 1970 ' s . By the midseventies the band members were going their separate ways . It wasn ' t until 20 years later that they reaped any financial rewards , as their music became a popular source for samplers . Cymande ' s original albums are still widely soughtafter by DJ ' s and funk afficionados . Perhaps the band ' s best known recording is the soulful dancefloor groove Bra , later sampled by the American hiphop group De La Soul . Cymande was accidentally discovered by English producer John Schroeder in a Soho , London club where they were rehearsing . He was there to see a rock band . But the gig had been cancelled and he stumbled upon this unique collection of West Indian musicians . He soon signed the band and recorded their intial single The Message . The single was released by Janus Records , a division of Chess Records . The track reached number 20 on the US RB and Pop charts . This set the stage for Cymande ' s self titled release in 1972 . Cymande traveled to New York after the success of the first LP , and began a tour of the US with Al Green . They also shared a few bills with the latin funk ensemble Mandrill . They played a few important venues , including The Apollo , and played a gig on Soul Train . The band released three LPs for Janus . However , their final album , Promised Heights which shows Cymande developing their distinctive chilled funkjazz sound was not released in the USA where Cymande had achieved their initial success . Promised Heights included one of their most cherished tracks , Brothers on the Slide , along with The Recluse , the downtempo jazzfunk of Changes , and the slow funk churner Promised Heights . The tracks Brothers on the Slide , and Bra , also were staples of the new Rare Groove Deep House scene which developed in London and New York night clubs during the eighties .
