M People R great, and so is this album. It contains loads of well known songs, like "Sight For Sore Eyes", the classic "Search For The Hero", another classic "Open Your Heart", "Love Rendezvous" and just another classic "Itchycoo Park". Besides from these classics, there R the groovy "Drive Time" ( you really drive me wild ) and "Sugar Town" ( rain in sugar town ), and some tracks that R only a little bit more slow like "Walk Away" "...And Finally". And "Padlock" is a fun little story done is a classy way about a break up.

M People R the ultimate feel good band that combine dance with house and saxophones and other jazzy instruments. This music will make you dance and groove till midnight and longer.

There is a version which has 5 live tracks ( "Moving On Up" live is the best thing ever ) and 5 remixes ( the Junior Vasquez Sound Factory Mix of "Padlock" is like heaven ).

I heard Sight For Sore Eyes in a store one day in 1995, and HAD to know what it was, where did it come from. I bought it the next day. This album is unfailingly fun and boy, can you move to it. It is slickly produced disco for the 90s, with some kicky lyrics to boot. Fun for all.

This is a dance album but it is very different from the other dance albums. The vocalist Heather Small must be a 'superlung' to be able to sing the songs! Her vocals are very distinctive. Songs like 'Sight For Sore Eyes' and 'Love Rendezvous' are very beaty and danceable, and yet also resmebles pop music. 'Search For The Hero' is my all time favourite, I find the lyrics very phiilosophical. In addition the saxophones are beautifully arranged and played too.

Whithout getting lost in electronica,the M People broke the sophomore jinx and and got everybody's booty grooving with inspiration,rhytm,harmony and taste.

This is a superb CD with every selection a winner. It seemed like every gay man in America had this CD about 15 years ago. It is hard for me to name a favorite since almost all are my favorite songs on the CD. Most of the songs are dance friendly, I found myself dancing around the house while listening, and I am not a young fellow anymore. The music is upbeat and the lyrics are clever. The lead female vocalist is extremely gifted. Even after 15 years, the work is still fresh and contemporary.

Was a replace ment for a cd i had so i already new what I was replacing.
