On March 9, 1993, Sony/Columbia released the Inclined's debut album,"Bright New Day." The album featured 13 songs that had been developed from playing and evolving over the previous 9 years of the band's existence. The recordings started with a handful of studio sessions the band had recorded on their own in Burbank and Chatsworth, California. Soon thereafter, Sony/Columbia bought the recordings and had them record a few new tracks to add for the release of Bright New Day.
The band...consisting of Steve Smart on drums, Gene Perry on bass & Miles Tackett (aka Music Man Miles of Breakestra, and the man behind Root Down and Funky Sole) on guitar & vocals, was as influenced by the late 80's/early 90's hip hop golden age sound as they were by older progressive & newer pop rock styles & psychedelic sounds. In addition to the unique sounds and songs found on the record, it is also most likely the first pop/rock record to have used sampled pieces from records and looped breakbeats. The closing track of Bright New Day featured DJ Cut Chemist, making his CD debut on "Outclined," a shout-out track…also the first for any non-hip hop record.
Well, here we are 15 years later, and the record sounds as good as ever.
