In 1991 Incognito scored a Top 10 hit with "Always There" which opened the floodgates for several other acid jazz acts to enjoy chart success. It would be more the lower reaches of the charts though as by 1994 the only other acid jazz record to have made the Top 10 was the Jamiroquai debut "Too Young to Die" in 1993.
Urban Species were one of those acid jazz acts. They were signed by Gilles Peterson in 1992 to Talkin Loud records which was also Incognitos record label.
Their Top 40 debut came in 1994 with "Spiritual Love" which made number 35. Then came this which is their final Top 40 hit to date. The single edit of this was produced by Bluey of Incognito.
They would have several non-charting singles and 2 albums during the 90s with Peter "Mintos" Akinrinlola the only constant member before calling it a day in 2000.
