The only Black Blood that's actually worth having.

It contains their great downtempo funk track 'Avenue Louise' and the catchy breakbeat track 'AIE', and the hypnotic Afrobeat track Jesus Wa-Basungu on it.

This African band called Black Blood was performing in a club in Brussels, Belgium when producer Jean Kluger (Roland Klugers older brother, who produced Sail-Joia ao.) heard them. He offered them a record deal and cut a single with them. At first, the song Marie-Therese was the a-side. The song 'A.I.E.' was just another version of a song Kluger had recorded with the Yamasuki's. When it came out, radio's were playing A.I.E. and it was a hit, so it was put on the a-side on later pressings. Now, about the music: A.I.E. starts off with a drumbreak filled with percussion sounds, right before the catchy melody comes in. The vocals are african shouts. Chicano is one of their's best work . It contains their great downtempo funk track 'Avenue Louise' and the catchy breakbeat track 'AIE',  it also has the hypnotic Afrobeat track Jesus Wa-Basungu on it. Mapenduja Faranga and Marie Therese are fabulous !!!!
