If you are a commerical R&B radio fan, this is not for you at all. This is for an open minded neo-soul, deep house, experimental crowd. It's a project of old school soul hits that is re-done by nu-soul artists and deep house producers. You can feel the spirit of expermentation on this complication. I personally really, really dig about three of the songs. To me it was what I was looking for at the price.

Nowhere near as good as I'd hoped...fortunately, it's in MP3 format so individual cuts can be purchased. I picked up Tonight, Riding High, Nubian Lady, and Bold and Black...

Although I'm a big fan of remix CDs and have many in my collection, this one's probably the worst I've ever come across. Of the few hits that are here, all of them have been stripped of whatever magic they had that made them hits in the first place. A smokin' funk instrumental jam such as "Pick Up The Pieces" deserves better than to be chopped up and re-assembled as one of the most annoying remixes you'll ever hear - chances are that you won't be able to stand more than a minute of the repetitive loop before you move on to the next track.

If you really want a great remix CD, check out "What Is Hip?", a collection of classic Warner Brothers hits reworked by contemporary DJs who did an amazing job - unlike this buzzkill.

I had such high hopes for this cd. I'm a fan of all the "Remix" series that are coming out and was looking forward to Atlantic's compilation, but I just couldn't get into it. The remixes are like the cd cover---dark and dull. Don't pay full price for this one, folks.

I may be biased since I prodcued this project with Garth, but I must say it's THE best remix album next to Verve Remix 1. Enjoy
