When the dust was cleared from the vintage 60’s Italian Jem Jumbo organ it was clear the flickering valves still had some funk left to give. This is its epitaph. Riding the swinging syncopation of spliced postcards of vinyl mementoes and the primal spirit of invention come together with obese intention.
Jumbonics delivers an edgy jazzy soundtrack to all discarded, outdated and unwanted electronic devices around the world.
JUMBONICS - Rob Mac Production, Bass , Guitar, Keys. Matt Smooth Drums, Percussion. Norman Anderson vocals. Lucy Wilkins Violin, Keys, Bv's. Keeling Lee Guitar. Ali Live Keyboard Player. Nick Pamphilon keys.
The sound behind Jumbonics is a soul fired up from Booker T & The MG's, Jimmy Smith, Johnny Hammond, Ramsey Lewis, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Louie Bellson, James Brown, 45 King, Brian Auger, Money Mark, Trouble Funk, The Meters, Madlib, Sweet Charles, Led Zeppelin, Cozy Powell, Blood Sweat & Tears..all heavy rockin'.
The original sound of Jumbonics was mostly instrumental crunchy jazz break & bass heavy tunes with a real snap, crackle & pop in the mix. Often laced with a jolly melody skipping over the top to enhance a vibrant mood. This is slowly adapting towards a more live soulful funk injected sound largely song based featuring Norman Anderson on vocals, Mac & Smooth on hand claps & mix duties.

Jumbonics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Oh, baby, I feel so down
Oh it turns me off
When I feel left out"
So I walked out
"Oh, baby, don't care no more
I know this for sure
Well, I've been in town for just about fifteen minutes now
And Baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walkin' for miles
See, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your Grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand
Last night, she said
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down
Oh, it turns me off
When I feel left out"
So I, I turn 'round
"Oh, baby, gonna be alright"
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night, yeah
Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they won't understand
Your grandsons, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand
Last night, she said
"Oh, baby, I feel so down
See, it turns me off
When I feel left out"
So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, little girl, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door," yeah
The lyrics of Jumbonics's song "Last Nite" narrate a story about a protagonist who is feeling down and decides to walk out of a relationship. The song begins with the singer's partner confessing how down she has been feeling lately and how it turns her off when she feels left out. This admission sets the tone for the song's melancholy vibe, and the singer decides to leave the situation as he cannot handle the constant feeling of being left out.
The singer reflects on how he has only been in town for fifteen minutes and has already become consumed by feelings of sadness. He walks for miles, not quite sure what he is looking for but craving a connection with someone or something. The song expresses how he believes that no one could understand his plight, not his girlfriends or grandsons or anyone else.
As the song progresses, there seems to be a change in tone. When his partner once again repeats her statements from the beginning of the song, the singer tells her that he does not care anymore and walks out. He insists that he is walking out of that door for good. The song ends on a somber note, implying that the singer has hit his breaking point, and there is no going back in this relationship.
