Customer Reviews:

The album itself rivals their "Best Of" compilation........2006-08-11

I can't say enough good things about this excellent album! It just gets better and better with every listen. There isn't one song on this thing that has to be skipped. It's Awesome from start to finish! If this album doesn't do well, then I guess there really is no hope for good music.

The KAB score: 10 perfect!

No Maysa....No Problem..........2005-03-15

This in my opinion is one of Incognito's best CD's. "Good Love," that song is just phenomenal! And though Maysa was absent from this album, Incognito didn't miss a beat...they kept on moving along with great vibes, horns, beats and other vocalist! Great album.

Turning up the heat..........2003-05-12

For those of you who have not come across Incognito before, you are missing out! I first came across this band after the release of 'Tribes, Vibes and Scribes' (with the very catchy lightweight opening track 'Colibri'). This album is a few years and couple of releases later, and it's a wonderful mix of styles. It opens with rhythmic, plusating strings (REAL ones, mind you - another great thing about this band - why have canned-strings and synth-brass when you can have authentic instruments?), and just gets better and better. The soprano sax playout between two of the tracks is awesome, and the layering of sounds on the final track ('Jacob's Ladder') takes some beating - check out the stylish quick bass playing and growling Rhodes solo. If you're just starting out, try something earlier first (either 'Tribes, Vibes and Scribes' or the excellent 'Positivity') then, just when you think you've categorised their style, let this one hit you on full volume. Yeehaah!

Raises the Pulse !..........2003-01-06

Well, I know what I like...and I don't like this...I LOVE IT !!!
The suave finesse of fusing R&B, funk,jazz,and Brazilian/Latin sounds from this British group is a testament that music like this is truly food for the heart, mind, and soul! I bought their 1992 release Positivity and I positively continue to enjoy it to this day...While, 100 and Rising may not have the same sound as their 92 release, times have to change, and they did for the better on this 1995 project. This is material for grown ups and those who appreciate the finer things in life (in a non-materialistic way)! You can NEVER mistake this sheer brilliant artistry for the bubble gum [stuff] out there right now infesting the pop airwaves! Younglings, take a lesson, this is REAL MUSIC !!!
For those who like this genre of music I also highly recommend another British funk-jazz fusing group called Matt Bianco that incorporates some of the hottest Latin sounds and influences around !!!

Outstanding effort!!.......2003-01-06

One of the first CD's I ever brought. And I'm glad I did. Bluey and company raised the standard of what soul music should be. I love "Millenium" and "I hear your name". Definetly not your average R&B group. Buy it and jam on!!
