When this track kicks off the German band's latest full - length album, The Serpent's Mouth, high expectations are inevitable. And it doesn't let you down! This 14 - track album offers amazing reinterpretations and original pieces, taking you on a funky Afro - Caribbean musical journey. Steelpans are the stars of this album named after the eight - mile strait between Trinidad and Venezuela. Hear the band's unique takes on classics like Jackson 5's 'Great To Be Here' and Amerie's '1 Thing'. Mary J. Blige's 'I Love You' gets a delicious makeover, and they even cover 'Crockett Theme' from Miami Vice. The original compositions blend perfectly with the well - known cuts.

Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle on the start of the track you want to listen to, and enjoy the funky Afro - Caribbean music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the record, which can affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in its sleeve when not in use, and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static record brush to gently clean the grooves. That's all you need to do to keep this great album in top condition!
