Some words on this issue: NIAGARA: “S/T” (United Artist – UAS-29.2321)  Original German 1st press issue, released in 1971. This was Niagara’s first album, a self-titled affair that was released in 1971 and which gained notoriety due to its controversial "sweaty breasts" album cover. The music on the other hand was unusual since it was a broodingly heavy and purely percussive album on which numerous high-profile drummers came together lead by German musicians Klaus Weiss, Udo Lindenberg and Daniel Fichelscher (who also played in Gila, Amon Düül II and Popol Vuh). The funked up butt-swinging tropical head-spinning vibe of that 1st LP is a unique, driving mix of jazz, rock and skilful adaptations of African elements, all captured and jammed into two long epic tracks. It is nothing short of an astonishing set of heavy, hypnotic drums, voodoo hoedowns and tribal percussive ritualistic grooves. Consisting out of 2 side-long jams, "Sangandongo" and "Malanga" it oozes out heavy psychedelic ethnic funk grooves and break heavy-hitting Afro-flavored rattles and shakes. A classic and a floor burner. Top copy housed in delicious gatefold jacket.
