Fionn Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Nice composition, and very skilled players. ... but to me this feels like that kind of highly musical "funk in a can" jazz-funk-fusion that somehow misses the root of the funk. Och, each to their own, and I'm sure that many folk will think this is excellent. Personally, I'm a bit sceptical of funk when it isn't reeking of sex ... this feels a little contrived and artificial. Quote
bubinga5 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) yeah i know what you mean. but this isn't funk . thats why the word Neo is in front of it. i personally find proper funk, a bit unmusical when it comes to harmony/changes etc. it has its limits musically shall we say. like you say, each to there own.

[/quote] I'm not just talking about straight funk, I mean funk in any mixture or measure. Take Herbie Hancock's Man-Child album, for example. Mega-musical jazz-funk fusion, jazzed up to the max, but the soul of the funk element is intact. It doesn't sound like canned nerd funk. It's music for the brain, but it still makes you want to get down and sleazy. Quote
