M People has always been one of my favourite groups. The songs they have published over the years have been so appropriate to the world we live in, even though many people have not always had the appreciation of being faced with that blatant truth.

Elegant Slumming starts off with One Night In Heaven, a joyful track. Moving on Up is one of those tracks that you play with vindication after a difficult time... the words "I'm movin' on up, you're movin' on out... nothing can stop me" are so true and are so self-medicating :)

Colour My Life is a bit sad. Renaissance is funky, although it is a bit repetitive. Don't Look Any Further is... just great. All in all, there is a track for every mood.

Ever since 1991, when M People hit the music scene with Northern Soul, people for all walks of life have flocked to listen to them. One of the most memborable classic albums by M People is Elegant Slumming. Winning the Mercury Music Prize, by beating off groups like Pulp and Blur, M People have taken the world with storm with Elegant Slumming.END

This album is definitely ONE-OF-A-KIND! If you want music and voice to say something to your soul listen to this. I've been hooked on this recording for years now and it's still the BEST! HATS OFF TO THE M-PEOPLE ! for giving me what I want..... ! Thanks !

I haven't been this excited about a cd in a long freakin' time. Of maybe the last 500 cds I listened to this one has captivated me. I mean the beats are freakin' great pretty much tracks 1 - 6 rock. Then it slows down a little on track 7 but overall the whole cd is good. I listened to this cd with a girl New Years Day driving around Frisco, CO. The sun was shining and this just fit. I like cds where every track is functional and this makes it. The album pretty much peaks on track 6.

Heather Small has NO small voice...in fact she has a Diva voice and she rocks! I think her best album is Bizarre Fruit!

If you are one of the disco fanatics of the eighties then these music tracks are for you. Definitely the music of the eighties revived with added touch of new age music technology. The beats are felt and the melody danceable. First time listeners would instantly feel the groove! M People would probably mean "Music People" as in real dance music!

A friend of mine who has a vast collection of music gave me the CD to check out and I was immediately hooked. On many of the tracks you find that you are tapping or moving some part of your body without even realizing it. Not a wrong move in any song and that's rare indeed. So... not a serious CD but definitely a must when you just want to have something to get your groove on.
