Future Boogie

Buy the cheaper 3 album "Classic album series" instead.I was VERY disappointed in this very expensive single album that to tell you the truth, sounds like the same song being played over and over again; same beat, same instruments being used, and a couple of bad Vocal Accompaniment's. I am puzzled with the good reviews on this cut.

What can I say about this band that has not been said already. This is Down to the Bone striking home. Every track is smooth, after hearing the "supercharge" Cd I thought maybe this band was winding down, But, guess what? No, they not quite ready to fade off in to the sunset, just yet. Incredible production work, this snit right here bro, right here, this snit, is the bomb (Love yah, Katt)!! It's what I thought of when I first put this in to the player. When this was dropped, they knew what they were doing. "Should've Been You" is a smooth vocal track that features Hil St. Soul and it's so cool, then you have, "Spiderlegs", And cut with MR. Acid Jazz himself, ROY AYERS, jamming with the bone on "Good to Me", "Gotcha", "Smash and Grab" are dope on a rope!! Paul Mendelssohn is doing his thing, you know moving cooling like a trumpet machine. Now all we need is a "Live album starting from the first Cd to this and the sky would be the limit.

I've been a fan of DTTB for about 10 years now. Ever since hearing Brooklyn Heights on a station out in California in 1999. I really enjoyed the bass and keyboards and great percussion generated. It was unlike what I had heard from anyone else, and I've been a fan of instrumental music all of my life. Words tend to get in the way IMHO.Some of their stuff that followed Spread The Word didn't do much for me. Spread Love Like Wildfire brought it back, but then I didn't get the same charge from Supercharged (no pun intended). Future Boogie though has recaptured the sounds without immitating any previous tunes of the band that first caught my attention. I don't mind the vocals either. Hil St Soul is a great fit for the music. I've enjoyed listening to her smooth sounds since Spread/Wildfire.This is another CD that went straight to my iPod after hearing the first track, and there has not been a disappointment.Favorites so far: Future Boogie, Smash and Grab (love hearing some good guitar with the brass), Spiderlegs and Get On It. These will get you motivated to speed up the treadmill at the gym, pick up the pace if walking/running, and help you get over the hump in that last bit of exercise.Great release Stuart. Hope to catch ya'll in the States someday.

I thoroughly enjoy all of DTTB's releases...I love their sound, the jazz funk rhythm and beat...it is also interesting to listen and compare how they have changed through the years, yet their sound remains true!

This is a great record in the style of Brand New Heavies as well as Incognito.It's lot's of horn arrangements that are funky and much hammond organ as well.The arrangements of the songs are really good and fresh.Thou the most songs are instrumental there are some with vocals with for example guest singer Hill St Soul on the songs "Should've Been You" & "The Brighter Side".Another guest is the legendary Roy Ayers on vibes on "Good To Me".If this is how the future gonna sound i can't wait to get there!

funky upbeat jazz from masters of their craft. this is new music not old timey jazz. upbeat derived from many sources, familiar DTTB sound but a real change from their normal sound and yet outstanding.

Amazing Groove

Great addition to my 'Down to the Bone' collection!

This is a great record... I had never heard of "Down to the bone" but boy am I glad that I found them.... jazzy, funky, soulful rhythms from the UK (I think) it's like the best of all that acid jazz from back in the day and then some.... another record I've been blasting out in the sunshine....
