Most Go-Go fans will attest that live music sounds better. But this compilation by Dj Flexx is mostly a Studio mix. It lacks the very essence of Go-Go, which is more than just call and response. But drum and percussion. That's what makes Go-Go so unique. The drum was outlawed during slavery and Go-Go brought it back hard. Dj Flexx brings a more hip-hop feel to this CD. And it lacks the star power to make it a success. There are a few tracks with Chuck Brown, Big Tony, 911, & Backyard that make the high points. Sadly to say there is a lack of new Live Go-Go CD's to buy on the internet. Which puts Go-Go fans that don't live in DC in a precarious position.
