DEMON FUZZ became the prototype of a new musical genre
in England, baptized as AFRO-ROCK by Paddy Corea and the
legendary music man Eddie Grant (Pyramid & Ice rcds).
We used different time signatures 6/8, 4/4, 3/4, 5/4, and
several types of rhythms and different movements in
the same piece of music. We used steel band bass riffs and
blues harmonies in some passages, African drumming and
early Rap ( OUR WORLD TODAY & BIAFRA)
We inspired a new breed of bands after 1969, CYMANDE, SPEAR,
PROTOPLASM, BATTI-MAMSELLE, NOIR, the NEW-TONICS,
ASSAGAI and even OSIBISA.
