Beneath the Surface is an album by the British acid jazz band Incognito, released in 1996 on Talkin' Loud Records.[1] The album peaked at No. 11 on the UK R&B Albums Chart.[2]
The album was produced by band leader Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick.
Out of the Storm reached No. 13 on the UK Hip Hop and R&B Singles Chart and No. 18 on the UK Dance Singles Chart.[3]
Leo Stanley of AllMusic, in a 3 out of 5 stars review, claimed "Beneath the Surface finds original lead singer Maysa Leak returning to the Incognito fold. Coincidentally or not, the record finds the group moving deeply into smooth, laidback, jazzy soul. It's a seductive sound and the group executes it well, even though there ironically isn't that much substance beneath the surface."
