Acid jazz.......2005-02-05

What does this term mean? I can only think that it is a half way house between Smooth and traditional. Ronny's early work falls into this category, this album, being the best example of this. This is a strong set that comprises fast tempo joints (GURU on 'Season for change') your more mid tempo offerings ( the Jackal, featuring the Lovely Dana Bryant, I think) the sultry slow joints( Vanston Place) This is an excellent follow up to 'The Antidote'.Also, the vinyl has two bonus tracks' Pent up House' which is a busy mid tempo offering, and the moody' Midnight lady.

For West Wing Completists.......2003-09-10

Although it's not really a complete review of this album, it should be noted that Allison Janney as C.J. Cregg lip-syncs "The Jackal" in one of the greatest scenes ever of the television show "The West Wing". Just listening to the song reminds me of how great that scene is. WW or Janney fans, enjoy.

Good First Album.......2002-01-13

A good first-up album from one of British acid-jazz's leading lights. The stand out track is "The Jackal" though the album is solid throughout. A good chill-out album for those lazy Sunday mornings. Recommended.

Mind spackle.......2001-02-26

Hmm, you might have heard this the last time you were at the dentist. Pleasant enough, but nothing worth your money...

I was dissappointed with this album. I had expected a little more acid from one of the pioneers of acid jazz. Instead, in spite of scripted rap in 'Season for Change,' it sounds like that smooth jazz they play on "Lite FM." The best track on the album is 'The Jackal;' it doesn't take itself as seriously as the other tracks.

If you think Pat Metheny is a funkmaster, then this album is for you. Otherwise, if you want mid-tempo 1970's makeout soul, try the Crusaders.

music to have your teeth filled to........2001-02-26

Pure mind spackle. It isn't unpleasant, but it isn't anything that great either. I was hoping for a little more 'acid' from the so-called pioneer of acid jazz. This stuff is more like the smooth jazz your dentist plays you. John Tesh woulda been proud of this album, or maybe that funkmaster Pat Metheny.

There's some forgettable flows on the first few tracks. The only track that stands out is 'The Jackal;' campy fun. The others are studied mid-tempo 1970's fusion. Big yawn.
