Album Review: Idle I’m Your Good Is As Guess As Mine by The Kramford Look
Alright, let’s talk about this quirky little jazz-funk gem from 2011. The Kramford Look dropped Idle I’m Your Good Is As Guess As Mine under the UK label Wonderfulsound, and honestly? It’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. If smooth grooves, clever remixes, and a vibe that feels like sipping coffee in a retro diner sound appealing, then buckle up—this one’s for you.
First off, can we just take a moment to appreciate the track titles? They’re kinda wild, right? Like, what even is “Your Good Is As Guess As Mine (The Kramford Look Remix)”? But don’t let the word salad throw you off because once the music starts playing, everything clicks into place. This remix has got this funky bassline that worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. Seriously, I found myself humming it while brushing my teeth last night. It’s jazzy but not too serious, with keys that bounce around like they’ve had one too many espressos. You can tell these guys were having fun making this tune—it’s infectious.
Then there’s “Idle I’m (Colorama Coloured In Remix),” which might be my favorite cut on the album. There’s something so effortlessly cool about how it blends laid-back vibes with sharp production. The rhythm section here is tight, almost hypnotic, and the saxophone solo halfway through? Absolute fire. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to grab a pair of sunglasses and strut down the street like you own the place—even if you’re just heading to the grocery store.
What sticks with me most about this album isn’t just the music itself; it’s the mood it creates. Listening to it feels like stepping into an alternate universe where time slows down just enough for you to catch your breath. And yeah, maybe the title is a mouthful, but hey—that’s part of the charm. It’s unapologetically weird and wonderfully British.
So, would I recommend giving this album a spin? Absolutely. Whether you’re a die-hard jazz fan or someone who just likes discovering hidden musical gems, Idle I’m Your Good Is As Guess As Mine delivers. Just don’t blame me if you end up randomly dancing in your kitchen at 2 AM. Oh, and here’s a random thought to leave you with: doesn’t “Wonderfulsound” sound like the name of a magical spell from Harry Potter? Accio good vibes, am I right?
