Conan Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Lovely!! That's the best bassline I've heard for ages. Perfect summer driving tunage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Had this on in the car for the past few days - timewarp stuff - has a late 70s/early 80s feel to it..still not sure which is my favourite track yet..a few more listens and I'll let you know.. Definitely worth a listen to if not a purchase.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) the bass playing from 3.35 onwards is pretty special... wonderful musical groove playing [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIzdSt7p7hE&feature=player_embedded#[/media]!

jackduran Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 'Rivers on the Sun' is a brilliant track, love the old school vibe to it with the 'drone note' vocal bit (sorry, I can't find a YT vid to show you!). The whole album is really strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambusBoy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It's an amazing album - I've been playing it a lot over the last few days. A couple of years ago I played in a band with one of the Incognito drummers, Francesco Mendolia (that's him in the clip) and he was awesome - I'm sure he made my bass play itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Awesome album! I've been listening to it over and over since I got it last week, and it seems to get better every time I listen! Wicked basslines (wish I could play like that!). I bought "Tales From The Beach" last year which is good too, but can anyone recommend other essential Incognito albums?

BambusBoy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I haven't got "Tales from the beach" (so will buy it). All the albums are really good but my faves are "Positivity", "Tribes, Vibes & Scribes" and "JazzFunk" (which sounds very "of it's era"/dated, but is great) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Inversions' is one of favourite tracks from that album. 'Jazz-Funk' is great but isn't too different from anything else that was around at that time Brit Funk/Jazz-Funk wize, i.e. Light of the World, Freeez etc (understandably seeing as Bluey was involved in a lot of it!).

BambusBoy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks FunkGod - just had a taster listen on itunes and I will buy it when I get back on wifi. Sounds like a big Francis Rocca Prestia influence on those bass lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I haven't bought the album yet, but it's high on my list. You have got to see these guys live! The last time I saw them I think Julian Crampton was playing for them. Seriously good bassist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hello Bam, funny you should say that, When i did the short review on amazon for "band on a mission" i did point that out. [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Band-Mission-Push/dp/B005X6UKTC/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1334747363&sr=1-3"]http://www.amazon.co...34747363&sr=1-3[/url] Im still waiting for my Surreal cd to arrive !!! cant wait, i think i have nearly all the other incognito cds so am now just biting at the bitt. When i was playing in an Acid jazz band in the 80s and 90s we nicked so much stuff from bluey/ incognito (as well as JTQ , new jersey kings,corduroy ETC) it was just too good not to use, infectious.

BambusBoy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I actually bought the push album based on your recommendation - really like it. I am sure you will enjoy Surreal when it arrives - I think it's one of their best. I'll have to check out New jersey Kings as I have a lot of JTQ stuff. Been meaning to buy the Corduroy album for a while too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambusBoy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks man - that Corduroy bass player is the funkiest guy to use a pick since Anthony Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Just in case anyone hasn't seen these guys live lately they are still amazing - just funky as hell - great songs and great playing/singing etc - try and get to this if you can: https://agmp.ticketabc.com/events/incognito-mario-bion/ I saw them at Ronnie Scott's last year and it was killing...

TRBboy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I really can't get enough of this album! I think Francis Hylton is my new bass hero! I've got a couple of other Incognito albums, but this one really stands out, and there's some outstanding vocal performances. The vocal on "Above the night" sends a shiver up my spine every time (ESPECIALLY the vocal lick around 3:22-3:25). Wish I could play like Francis Hylton........

dmccombe7 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 My Surreal album arrived yesterday. Whow ! brilliant. So easy to listen to. Everything just simply flows and makes you wanna move with it. Great stuff. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have been listening to it for a few days now. One of the best albums they have done to date. Not super keen on the vocals as I think they have had better singers in the past, but the songs are great and the album as a whole sounds awesome.
