Fantastic, fabulous I don't know if the departure of keyboardist Vivian Trimble after the previous album was the beginning of the end, but if anything the musical quality is even better on this one! Trying to name standout songs is difficult because they are great all the way through. 1999's Electric Honey is the last effort (so far) of a super talented, under promoted band, and is their best. Also, even with its consistently sophisticated, sexy sound, it's truly right for "all ages. " There's nothing you would be embarrassed playing for your mom or young child. In fact it's on high rotation now on my iPod as the favorite (anti-crying remedy) of my 1-month old daughter!
If you visit the MySpace pages of Jill Cunniff, Gabby Glaser, and Kate Schellenbach, it looks like these talented women are working on a Luscious Jackson revival. Apparently there's going to be new material in the next couple of years. I for one will be looking out for a repeat performance of this outstanding record!.
how old are these girlz now?
With out Vivian, they, I suppose, focus more on the rock and less on the Pop and technobabble side of it. despite probabley(ney definitely!) needing to lenghten their mini skirts down to thier toes and wear high necked collars, these girls still rock out and being ten years older doesn't make them less vigorous. The 1991 albumn where they were teenie boppers themselves is a joke in comparison to later. Of course Natural Ingrediants is still my fav, with "Naked Eye" close seconds behind. Don't try sampling these on Media player here, it just does an MS "talk fu" crash of yer system save em to Real One then play offline.
Feels like Devotion!!!!!!
Luscious Jackson may be well considered the sweetest version of the beastie boys as versatile as innovative as the beasties are, Luscious Jackson delivers funny, sweet and experimental music, very 90s, very alternative, very entertaining, in "Electric Honey" sadly their last release the Jacksons became a trio after the departure of the gorgeous keyboardist they had, this didnt affected sustancialy and "Electric Honey" is perhaps their best release, check out "Lady Fingers" , "sexy hipnotist", and my favorite "Devotion"

Electric Friends
Album koji se voli, ili jednostavno stavi po strani ( za one koji nemaju ukusa :)). Od samog pocetka albuma koji otvara neverovatno dobra funky stvar Nervous Breakthrough, album Electric Honey pruza nezaustavljivu pop disco funky energiju. Pogotovo treba obratiti paznju na pesmu Fantastic Fabulous gde se kao gost vokal pojavljuje Deborah Harry.
Album je visoko sofistikovan i neodoljivo sexy. Za svaku preporuku. Obavezno za svaku ozbiljniju kolekciju.
Funky
It's been on my cd player for 2 months now. I'm a true blue LJ fan and with its funky, groovy-licious sound, I jez cant' get enough of 'em.
