Exelent, Best use of Vocoder i've ever heard,
By A Customer
This review is from: Feets Dont Fail Me Now (Audio CD)
Wonderesque!!! beautifull Rhodes pianos and sinths,extremely funky! One of the few albums in wich herbie sings (w/ vocoder always)also one of the best records for the jazz-challenged to get into easily.

I loved this album. It was funky and the songs were really catchy for the most part. Yet another album that has Herbie singing with a vocoder. Pick a copy up if you can find it, you won't be displeased!

Herbie H is a mad scientist always looking to blend diparate parts to create an music alchemy that moves a new directions in sound. George Duke in an interview when asked of Herbie's adventures in 'singing' through a vocoder, alluded to the words 'jivin" and is he serious?
His courage to push the limits is admirable even while not always up to his enormous genious. That's Herbie Yugen Fardan Rashad aka Gene the Jazz Machine, Jazz Rap II KBOO 90.7 FM

Best of the Vocal Albums,
By A Customer
This review is from: Feets Dont Fail Me Now (Audio CD)
This is probably Herbie Hancock's best vocal album, which unfortunately is rather faint praise. "Ready or Not" and "Honey from the Jar" are both good funky numbers. "Tell Everybody" isn't too bad, and "Knee Deep" is an intriguing instrumental. The other two you may want to skip over (although Herbie did rescue "Trust Me" as a jazz instrumental on his duet album with Wayne Shorter - quite a surprise!).

The End,

Herbie's '70s efforts were inspired but during the later part of the decade the music was getting softer and "smooth." This was it. He completely emerged himself into DISCO!!! His vocoder use is embarassing and his synth is awful. A fusion herbie fan should start with fat albert rotunda. NOT THIS GARBAGE!!!!

uhhhhhhhhhh...........,
By JOHN D. "willidynamite" (LV, NV (the 702)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feets Dont Fail Me Now (Audio CD)
Probably the weakest of his 70's efforts. The album focuses too much on the vocoder, which Herbie sounds redundant throghout. Theonly person who can pull that off is Roger Troutman. He had a unique way of using it, where Herbie was just keeping up with the times. Only worth getting for "ready or not", obviously influenced by Ray Parker Jr. Other than that, its a failed attempt. His next album "Monsters" was much better, particarly for the two ballads, "stars in your eyes", and "Makin'love" |
