"Tiger In The Night" is a masterful compilation that encompasses the finest works released by the great Mandingo. Far from being a product of deepest darkest Africa, Mandingo was actually Geoff Love and his Orchestra in disguise and this music definitely shows off Geoff at his absolute funkiest! Well known composers Mike Vickers, Roger Webb and Brian Fahey wrote many of the tracks on this collection and unsurprisingly there is a distinctive library music vibe. The music features lots of percussion, obviously, but also hefty slabs of wah wah, horns and flute that create a rich and powerful sound entirely unique to Mandingo. An absolute must listen recording! Awesome cover art as well, I'm sure you'll agree.
You can also find Mandingo's "Primeval Rhythm Of Life" here.

Geoff Love can really kick funk-ass when he needs to! The other Mandingo album was excellent but I had no idea there were more albums, I think I just assumed it was one of GL's many "one off" projects, so really happy to discover otherwise.
Just had a quick spin through the tracks..as deadly as the first album, great share Monsieur Craig!
I'm glad someone finally commented on this one! I think it's awesome too, obviously.
