This is out there: not only is it not 'Mystic' it's not 'Jungle' but get you're sunset breakers out for some seriously ring-fenced 80s Ital-disco funk.
If you're happy with a modern take on Baccara, Boney M and other 70/80s disco fun that's authenic and without cheese, Mystic Jungle's 'Sunset Breaker' on the Italian coast is the place to be.
In fact, it's a bit like a 70s disco as Naples' Mystic Jungle produced these tracks over a long time period due to various issues so a track like 'Innervision' slips into a bit of rock guitar along with a reggae/funk groove and a nod to a sitar - mad eh! The electro reggae 'Twilight' (Ed. Eddie Grant) follows 'Shine For Your Desire' which reminds me a bit of 10cc and that's not too bad a comparision as many of their tracks were of no fixed genre; being super competitive songsmiths.
King Tubby meets Disco Dâm‐Funk with the Isley Brothers 'In Time'! Mystic Jungle's clearly lost in time.
Still not convinced, the title track is full-on Sade space dub... on a Latin smooch beach!
If you've got a musical genre chip on your shoulder, this isn't one for you but it's a great album for a fun time dance.
