Product Description

When Incognito - multicultural purveyors of R&B, soul, funk and dance beats - made their Heads Up debut in the summer of 2008 with the release of Tales from the Beach, the music press immediately raved. JazzTimes called the album "13 soul-drenched, brassy vocal tunes imbued...with positivity." Jazziz proclaimed that "the hallmarks of this band - swaying rhythms, zesty horn charts and soulful singing - are front and center on every cut."

Incognito ups the ante with More Tales Remixed, in which the group's Mauritius-born guitarist/founder/frontman Jean-Paul Maunick - better known to fans worldwide as Bluey - unleashes some of the world's most prominent DJs on the original tracks. With the help of luminaries like Dimitri from Paris & DJ Meme from Brazil, Brooklyn's Tortured Soul, UK's Ski Oakenfull, Germany's Christian Prommer and many others, More Tales Remixed takes the high energy of the original material and jacks it up even further with infectious, ass-shaking dance mixes.

"From its conception to current times, Incognito has had one foot in the dance world and another in live concert performance," says Bluey. "Along that path, the two have crossed and merged and become one. DJs and the club connection have been as strong a point of reference as our live performances throughout our history."

I am a huge Incognito fan. This album is pretty good but I like the previous remixed cd a bit better. All in all, I'd recommend it to true fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars The original is best, August 17, 2009

You can never really go wrong with Incognito but this remix is not on the same level with the original. However, a true fan will want to add it to their collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Stella Remix Package, June 15, 2009

When Incognito puts their footprint on the land of music, the world stops to listen. On this remix effort by the likes of Yam Who? Dimitri & Dj Meme and the list goes on, it's truly a Gem!! My only disappointment to this remix is the exclusion of two of my faves, 'When the sun goes down' and 'When Words are not just words'. My guess is the producers felt that we should not disturb the Clasics?? What ever the reason, I respect the cause.

Another impessive Remix from another Incognito Classic of the New Generation in Jazz..
