Incognito - Adventures in Black Sunshine [2004]
Review by Reginald D. Garrard “the G-man”
…the “adventure” doesn’t occur until track #5 (”The Principles of Love”). The first four cuts, though tolerable, do not come up to the standard that makes Incognito so internationally reknown.
Thankfully, the rest of the album is the group’s trademark blend of R & B, Latin-flavored rhythms, and jazz. Strongest of the songs are the contemplative “This Thing Called Love,” the sensuous “Fences and Barriers,” the instrumental “Mindin’ My Business,” the cover of “Listen to The Music,” “Mr. Jones,” and “Beyond the Clouds.”
If the first four had been eliminated, the “sun” would really be shining a tad brighter; thus, only four stars for a five-star ensemble.
