King Of The Funk !!!, August 6, 2001
This review is from: Six Degrees (+1 Bonus Track) (Audio CD)
I picked this album up a while back, not knowing what I was in for. At first listen it just washed over me and by the time the album came to the end, nothing really stuck in my mind. A few listens later and the album is in constant rotation in my CD player (often with the track 'Cosmic Echoes' just repeating over and over again!) It's comparable to, say, Saint Germain, Llorca or any other recent French 'jazz-house' album, but Mark towers above all his contemporaries partially because his music really is jazz music composed with real instruments. It has all the expected synths, scratches and programmed drum patterns too, but as a whole it stands up as a live sounding jazz album. There are no fillers on the album either -- although Melodious Funk could probably have done without Kiwi rapper King Kapishi's heavily NZ accented verses. To summerise, 'Six Degrees' is a superior collection of summery mood music definately worth the time and money.
