Disco Funk Fusion. Composite Truth is Mandrill's most successful album, commercially as well as artistically. Although the band's sense of freewheeling experimentation had been tempered, its gradual transition to a straight-ahead funk band was made perfect with two of the biggest hits of its career: Hang Loose and Fencewalk. Elsewhere, Mandrill turns in a very convincing impression of a salsa band Hágalo, breaks into killer loose-groove funk Don't Mess With People, with a splendidly undecipherable vocal, and stumbles only with the long, rasta-fied San Francisco tribute Polk Street Carnival, featuring a bass part that would make even a student smirk.
