5.0 out of 5 stars a good ride, January 30, 2005

I would agree with the past customer in saying this is a different kind of album for 9 lazy 9. And that is what makes it so great. It is an album that I can listen to over and over and always find new things. I can work to it, drive to it, wake up to it, fall to sleep to it. When I can find something like that to have in my life I really respect an artist. So I say enjoy the ride and give it a listen.

4.0 out of 5 stars 9 Lazy 9 - Sweet Jones, February 28, 2011

9 Lazy 9, an early and groundbreaking part of the Ninja Tune stable, return after a long absence with SWEET JONES, an reprise of their downtempo-dub-jazz fusion. And they start off in fine worm, with the gentle freeform of "The Woodworm." "Poundstretcher" goes a more mysterious route and "Cosa" follows there soon after. "Keep Going Daddy" injects of the more rhythmic sensibilities that Funki Porcini had in his solo work, but for the most part, the tempo is kept more on the "down" side, as with the groovy "Carborante." In the years between their first releases, the entire lounge-downtempo-future-jazz scene has blown up, sometimes with great results, and sometimes with mediocre results. Though the world hasn't completely left 9 Lazy 9 behind, they're no longer the innovators they once were. That's a minor complaint, however, when they can still produce high-quality music, like the gorgeous "The Last of the West," which switches from major to minor keys with simple grace. Let's hope it's not the last of 9 Lazy 9.

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, August 25, 2004

A very ambient album. Nowhere near as groovy or acid-jazzy as their other work (which I really dig). A good album to put on if you want to fall asleep.
