Funky and Soulful.......2007-03-22

Smooth as silk yet still gives you the upbeat funky and playful feeling. Maybe it is just me, some how i can not find bands or groups nowadays that can produce jazzy soulful pieces like the 80's 90's bands did.

This group is off the hook,worth having,

The Best Incognito Album. Great Jazz!.......2006-06-19

Well the specific genre of Jazz this is considered is Acid Jazz. Incognito was at a creative and musical peak with this album. I recently sometimes hear "Still a Friend of Mine" on smooth jazz stations. From the opening of "Step into my Life" I was hooked. Maysa's vocal are incredible, and Bluey really lets his creative arrangements loose. Too bad I can't say that about Incognito's recent albums. If you like this album I would also recommend "Beneath the Surface" which is the second best album released by Incognito IMO.

Positivity - 4.5 stars.......2006-04-15

I just pulled this favorite out and listened for the first time in a while. Although released in 1993, the music is truly TIMELESS and sounds as fresh as if it were released yesterday. This is my favorite Incognito album featuring excellent music production, the British acid-jazz sound and with more than a few stellar lead vocal performances by Maysa Leak.

My favorite tracks: DEEP WATERS, STILL A FRIEND OF MINE, DO RIGHT, STEP INTO MY LIFE, SMILING FACES & PIECES OF A DREAM.

Still a friend of mine...........2005-03-15

Even after all these years, this remains my favorite Incognito album...from start to finsih! Each and every song, jazzy, soulful, melodic, upbeat, downtempo, with meaningful lyrics! I still play the heck out of this CD...the uplift it gives is unbelievable... The best!

Worth buying for "SIMON".......2003-01-07

The title track "Positivity" is pretty weak IMO. Fans usually expect more from them than this.

"One Love" is decent, about on-par with much of what is on the full-length album (that is, underwhelming).

"Simon", on the other hand, is a great song. Great. It brings-back memories of 'the old Suede', that aching smooth balladry... it's ace. A seriously great song that trumps ANYthing on the new album.

So, if you're a fan of "DOG MAN STAR" or "COMING UP", you may wish to invest in this.

A new morning teaser yields positive results (groan).......2002-10-01

Okay, so this is just a sliver of what is to be the new Suede, but it's a lovely tease. The hand of Stephen Street (Morrissey, Blur, Lloyd Cole) is quite obvious on here. He has a real open approach, and he makes the music sound...I dunno...natural? (John Leckie, producer for Stone Roses and Trash Can Sinatras, also leant a knob twiddle or two to the main track.)

"Positivity" missed the boat by a couple of months. It should have been a summer single. It's breezy and lovely to be around. It doesn't have the kick of old school Suede singles, but that's not the point here. It's mood as pop music, and it's uplifting. The video on the enhanced section is quite swell, also. It's an example of how videos should be--visuals that match the song. It begins as a simple performance clip, but the atmosphere increases as it goes, with birds and butterflies and such. Nice.

"One Love" -- that melody was born for handclaps. I could see this one being an anthem. Maybe ratcheted up a notch or two, it'd be phenomenal live. Your regular Suede "come on, kids" chorus, but with a bit more...errr...positivity. Like it.

"Simon" is familiar to anyone with the LOST AT TV dvd, or in the Suede fanclub. It's a silky, melancholy ballad. There is a beauty to it that only Suede can manage--both glamorous and tragically human. That's the Suede formula in a nutshell, and why we adore them.

Another Masterpiece.......2002-10-08

Once again Suede have proven that their B-sides are better than most bands A-sides. Positivity is brimming with incredible musicianship. This is song writing as it ought to be. This is a catchy, light, and fun first single of the new CD "A New Morning", which is already a classic if you have managed to find a copy of it, and it is a must have. Both CD-1 and CD-2 contain 2 new tracks that are not on the new CD but are brilliant and are must haves. Enjoy!

part two of the single, part two of my review.......2002-10-01

Well, I was vain enough to think folks would read what I had to say about "Postivity" CD1, so why not CD2? You can go there for my opinion on the A-side, but for the B-sides:

"Superstar" - An odd one. The opening is almost like A NEW MORNING sneering at HEADMUSIC. And there is almost something `70s FM about the chorus. I dunno. To be honest, with that title, I could easily have seen this being another Suede stormer (a la "Filmstar") or a dark ballad ("My Dark Star" or "Popstar"). Instead, there is something sweet about it. And the musical sweep is somewhat reminiscent of middle period Suede Mark 1. I could hear this on the STAY TOGETHER ep.

"Cheap" - this one is my favorite, I think. I love the piano riff that dominates the track, and the oddball vocal effects remind me of some of the COMING UP b-sides. Lyrically, it's got some of that Brett Anderson simultaneous glorification and tearing down of the gutterati. It just strikes me instantly.

All in all, I am definitely warmed up for the new album. Don't sell this band short. They will always surprise you.
