It started out sounding like Brubeck's Take Five!

Jazzy! Have not heard this here in quite a while.

Another first here at R.P.  This is hypnotic, groovy...and almost repetitive.  Looped lounge caffeine shop Moby Ocean 11 music. Dance thy ass off, then sit down and wonder what in hell you've been doing for the last 28 minutes.

Y'know, I have a crappy ear for lyrics, and I heard "I want you to get together" perfectly fine. Not sure what y'all are listening to. {#Eh}

first time I heard this tune I thought the loop vocals were saying... "I want you to get the gimp..." as in the gimp from the movie Pulp Fiction. If you listen it still kinda sounds like that...and yes my friends still laugh at me for that one.

We play this tune in my band... but in a different way which is more "Funkadelic" with big reverbs on my trumpetist... hey hey, they are french...
Posted 19 years ago by Nastychicken    [ Reply ]
Yeah, this is a pretty good jam..Brubeck all over it. Love the previous thoughts on this tune and especially that video...I want you to get together! \:D/

I'd like to congratulate whoever made that stormtrooper gif..... that's truly a stroke of genius.

Groovitude. That trumpet or sax or something is a bit strange though. I find that "I want you to get together" gets a little repetetive
Posted 19 years ago by trempel    [ Reply ]
Well, it's great you all like this tune. Really. Because the beat is Brubeck and Desmond. That's what y'all're groovin' to. But I stand by my earlier comment. What ticks me off is that RP won't even play the original. In fact, they've only played one Brubeck tune. The only good thing about this sampling rip-off is that Brubeck must have made some money from it.

I'd rather like them to tear it apart. E.g. the sax lick could have been used (provided it was not already stolen from somewhere else) in some *interesting* tune. This one is waaay too repetitive and boring. Nice try, RP, but now kick it off the playlist please...
Posted 19 years ago by heeb    [ Reply ]
6.5? Wow. Not that high for me, thanks. Maybe if it had, like, six MORE words in it, I'd like it better. . . . Or maybe none. Instrumental is cool, too. This is an odd (and, to me, much-too-repetitive) compromise. *edit* Wait--I guess it has eleven or twelve words. Still either not enough or too many.

Cool Every cell of my body is groovin to this song!
Posted 19 years ago by maddmatt    [ Reply ]
I just plain love that song. It's a definite groove--moving on a theme, and making it work. The horns are divine.

In other words, should not be played during normal business hours.

Ersatz jazz. Why not listen to the orginal? What's with that silly voice in the background? I don't see this as adding much in the way of musical ideas, just a way of feeding off someone else's greatness. If you like this, but don't listen to real jazz too much, go back to Brubeck and Desmond. And if you like the sax in this, try some Coleman Hawkins or Ben Webster or Johnny Hodges. It's the real thing.

If I am not mistaken this track is also on a Morcheeba compilation that they put out of their favorite afterhours music.

Driving home today, I had this CD on and was thinking how strong every track is! Wouldn't have ever heard this guy without RP's broad playlist.

This entire album was great....genre breaker....acid jazz and all that too...alot of very subtle samples from jazz greats to John Lee Hooker riffs...my compliments for the past 2 hours of music...VERY SOLID!!
Posted 20 years ago by cycleman    [ Reply ]
Good background tune for work. Yes, it's repetitive. If Jazz influences can find their way back into pop music this way, it's cool... 8)

Good to hear this again...
Posted 20 years ago by R_P    [ Reply ]
this one tickles my right-brain every time...I love the layering-in of the instruments, and the subtle changes (real or imagined) in tempo as the song progresses....great groove from a very good album. I ran out and bought the CD after hearing it on RP...though the CD store couldn't quite figure out whether it was in their Rock or Jazz or Electronica section...I love stumping them with obscure requests for stuff I've heard on RP :-s

aaargh!!, so monotonous that after 30 seconds I started begging for it to stop and then I stopped winamp and came back 5 mins later. Pure torture.

couldn't agree more. i am far from an "electronic" music fan, but the real instruments and jazz layers make this album work for me, when i'm in the mood.

Bought St. Germain\'s Tourist album (which contains this song) as a direct result of hearing this song on Radio Paradise. I love it when RP turns me onto new groups! Whole album is great. If you like this song, you\'ll like the rest of the album.
Posted 22 years ago by tarheelinLA    [ Reply ]
:) Good smooth groove. Nice mix up Bill. This one\'s a keeper.

Wow. Very nice tune. Not too often I like a song the first time I hear it, but this one I like.
Posted 22 years ago by geotrash    [ Reply ]
I must chime in my opinion that this whole album is great. And hearing this song is responsible for becoming a big fan of a large amount of new music - jazz/house, downbeat, ambient, etc.
Posted 22 years ago by zaphodb    [ Reply ]
He wants us to get together! And I want to get this together into my CD collection. Never heard this before, but I am LOVING it. Gotta buy it. An even bigger plus -- accroding to the All Music Guide, that\'s Marlena Shaw (a 70s soul/jazz goddess) saying, \"I want you to get together.\"

I will grant that there could be more lyrics... but as a newer Jazz sound.. I like this.. and reading one of the comments down below, about this being the intro to set up the rest of the album... makes me want to at least hear the next track or two.... see how the music flows. Interesting :D

I want it to stop stop stop, as well. Wortn about 10 seconds as an intro to a \"real\" piece of music. Will be very happy when this settles out of the playlist.

One of the best albums for me in 2001. Well worth a listen and look out for the funkiest flute in existance :p This track is the first on the album and sets the scene but there are many more gems on there. Fine choice - thanks Bill :D
