Incognito Album: “Inside Life”

Bluey Maunick's Incognito is one of the best bands few have heard. Inspirational dance beats with a vibrant que for catchy beats and original production. Incognito released 2 CD's 1992: "Inside Life" and "Tribes, Vibes, and Scribes." Inside Life is the more instrumental of the two. There are only a few vocal tracks on this CD. Yet those are very delicious! It seems the music on Inside Life was meant for a main CD but had to be culled into 2 halves. "Once Step To a Miracle" is the first track that will catch your attention. Catchy, powerful, and an incredibly smooth mix of drums, bass, horns, and synths. "Love is the Colour" is another standout. Crisp, easy, and very deep. My favorite is "Soho." Linda Muriel's sweet and sexy voice coupled with Bluey Maunick's vocal synth's blend well in this funky track.

Overall, I love this CD. It may not be a staple of many collections. I can assure you it will be one hard to avoid listening when it is!

This Brit-Funk Movement brings nothing but raw energy to this amazing 1992 project. Although this album is'nt as good as their later recordings but its definitely worthwhile for the ears. Armed with gritty urban rhythms and painstaking arrangements this album sets the standard in urban-chill grooves. Incognito is a must have for those who dig REAL music. Be good to yourself yourself, check out their other albums such as Tribes, Vibes & Scribes, Positivity, No Time Like The Future etc. Go Get It!!

Cool CD, I brought it to do a chart of Talkin' Loud and it was just the thing I needed.

So I am ridgid in my acceptance crietria, but at my early forties i am not going to accet styles I found unpleasant when I was younger.

A friend of mine who is very knowledgable on jazz told me about this group, so when i found it at less that 4 USD in a used cd store, i gave it a shot. The musisians are maestros, the funk is bearable, the arrangements impeccable. its a nice surprise
