Electric Indian, The ‎– Keem-O-Sabe

This is a rather hard to find LP by a one-album studio band that included many members of what later would become MFSB ('Mother Father Sister Brother'), another Philadelphia studio band which would be well known in the New York disco scene with tracks like 'Love Is The Message' and 'TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia)'. Keem-O-Sabe contains raw funk with a Native American touch (as some of the titles might indicate); "Grapevine" and especially "Rain Dance" are essential breakbeat tracks that were probably uses for cut-ups by the likes of Cool Herc and Afrika Bambaata (back when hip hop wasn't called that yet and DJ's extended the records by repeating the drum breakdown of funk songs), to be rediscovered by b-boy DJ's such as James Leacy later on.
