Living Colour’s mainstream meld of metal, funk, jazz fusion and permutations thereof coupled with their socio-political libretto made Vivid (1988) one of the most influential slabs of its generation, and though commercial success did not ensue on following releases, the lads never wavered in their boundary stretching artistry.
