Editorial Review: Amazon.com: From the opening bars of "Wild and Peaceful" (almost a description of the group's style) with its soaring strings, crystalline piano, and flawless vocal harmonies, it's apparent that No Time Like the Future is rich with Incognito's patented blend of soul and finesse. "It Ain't Easy," with its refrain of Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On," is a classic funk outcry; "Fearless" is a wordless chant with some great rhythm guitar and booting jazz saxophone; "Nights Over Egypt" backs another great vocal with popping bass and orchestral atmospherics; "Black Rain" mixes exotic drumming with some subliminal dissonance. Producer-composer-guitarist Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick has added string arrangements by Simon Hale, appearances by the horns of the hot Cuban band Irakere, and the performances of small army of R&B singers (Maysa, especially) and British contemporary jazz players (Ed Jones stands out on tenor and soprano). The result is an irresistible combination of strong songs and pulsing rhythm tracks, all polished to slippery perfection. --Adam Rains Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "No Time Like the Future" had some good songs on it.Incognito's album "NO TIME LIKE THE FUTURE" is one of those albums that draws in the listener the moment that he or she begins listening to it, especially if one happens to be a fan of this particular genre of music, or this band, or both. (I'm in the "both" category.) Although this album contains only 10 tracks, quite a number of them are can certainly be classified as ear candy, and others are quite a treat if one is going out or shopping. For instance, we have: Track 1: "Wild and Peaceful" General comments: the title pretty much sums up the song title as well as the album as a whole Track 2: "Get Into My Groove" General comments: worth repeat earfuls; awesome, top-notch vocals Track ... Read More: Rating: - ABSOLUTE GENIUSI should have written this a long time ago. I'm a huge fan of horn bands. That's what initially drew me into the Incognito circle. Their early albums featured a horn section that wouldn't wait, reminiscent of Tower Of Power, Blood Sweat & Tears and Chicago --- with a decidedly funk base. So I got them all. When this CD came out, I was expecting more of the same horn-driven funk. And what I got was a spiritual experience unlike any other Incognito release up to this point. The horns are there, just more subdued and situated in appropriate slots, but with the emphasis on Bluey's return to his diverse roots. He found Mecca on this musical journey and I'm glad he took us with him. Maysa is featured, but all the vocalists are ...
