"Positivity"- does what it says on the tin. August 29, 2008
"Positivty" is probably the best Acid-Jazz album ever recorded. It combines smooth, jazzy beats with soul, funk and dance music. Maysa Leak's vocals are truly splendid, and add to the beauty of the album. Generally, the album is brilliant, but there are a few tracks which stick out, namely:
Still a Friend of Mine- This brilliant song features an acapella breakdown which gives the listener the chance to hear Maysa's vocals devoid of all instruments and backing music- an absoulte treat!
Positivity- Possibly my favourite track on the album. It really is a gem, and NEEDS to be listened to if you are feeling down or depressed: honestly, it literally lifts you up!
Deep Water- Is a beautiful Jazz ballad that sets a very romantic scene. I've heard this track played in some of London's snazzy bars, and it is more than appropriate. Maysa's vocals accentuate the beauty of the song.
Thinkin About Tomorrow- This is the groove!! Put the glass of wine down, and boogey to this marvellous tune.
Givin' It Up- Although it is slightly removed in regards to the overall tone of the album, it is nonetheless a great dance track. Great if you're out on the floor!
This album portrays why Incognito are one of the only great acts left in the contemporary music industry. Buy it. You won't be disappointed!
Excellent Chill-Out Music! March 5, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was highly recommended this album by a friend, and it has not let me down! For anyone wanting to chill out to soft-jazz, or is looking for music to listen to on the road: buy this album! All of the songs have a great beat, and within two plays of a track, I guarantee you'll be singing along! This is the first Incognito album I've bought, and it certainly won't be the last!
A "New Age Jazz Standard!" May 31, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I found this album great, from a musicians point of view. Currently studying Jazz, I found that it was good to listen to, from an educational point of view. If you are a young person getting into Jazz, it is a good educational listen, as far as broadening your horizons, especially for a keyboard player. It is true Acid Jazz, similar in style to the early Jamiroquai stuff. If your not a musician, & listen to jazz, again, it is probably a worth while addition to your collection. It gets a thumbs up from me!
The best Britfunk album - ever? November 16, 2002
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Jazzfunk was a classic of my youth, embodying the best of '80s Britfunk. And when one of my wife's students played this at a party, I couldn't believe the band were still around!
The time had just served to improve the band's sound. This is the most polished, catchy collection of smooth, melodious funk that you can get on a piece of plastic.
I've since offered the album to several of my jazz-loving mates, who didn't know Incognito, and they're all addicts. Buy it.
