Fdeluxe Gaslight question

Some days ago a saw Fdeluxe's Gaslight album in a local wrecka stow (filed under "jazz") for a nice price. Since this is The Family without Prince and they, like all his other proteges, were only as good as the songs Prince wrote for them, I'm wondering: If I decide to buy it, what can I expect? Is it the kind of record you keep listening to or one you just shelve after listening once or twice?
Enlighten me pleez!

I bought it when it came out, they even signed it for me, which was nice. I still listen to it. In fact, I also bought their remix of the album, called Relit, which is also very good.

I would describe their sound as The Family, part 2, if that's make sense. I know that it's been said that Prince did everything for The Family album. But I think the FDeluxe album proves that they are great musicians on their own.

Agreed. It is a project I go back to on a regular basis. The Remix cd is also really good, and ususally I am not a fan of that sort of thing.

Get it - it's worth it!!!!

I think its release was slightly overshadowed by the Time's album but this is MUCH MUCH BETTER IMO.
