4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly good, February 16, 2001

I bought this CD out of curiosity, having followed a few links on Amazon. The reviews are very mixed but I decided to take the plunge anyway.

On getting the CD in my hands I had a great sense of trepidation. The sleeve notes are purile at best, and as noted in other reviews were quite possibly written by a 12 year old with hormones running amok.

However, its best not to judge a book by its cover and indeed this double CD is actually rather good. There are some very sexy basslines (though hardly a sexual experience), and the tracks are mixed up enough to be interesting and similar enough to carry a general theme.

In terms of providing guidance as to whether or not this CD is for you...

tricky!

The reviews reveal that you will either like this CD is detest it with great passion.

If it helps, this CD claims to be a mixture of jazz and hip-hop, but in reality has more drum and bass than anything. Its kinda a jazzy version of LTJ Bukem. Gentle on the ears and relaxing.

If it had a different title and a better CD case, this album would earn less derision.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of its kind, February 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Hed Phone Sex (Audio CD)

This is one of my favorite CD's. The music is fairly well described in the other reviews, so I won't add to that, but I'm surprised that 2 of the 3 previous reviews pan it. Usually even mediocre albums get nothing but rave reviews, and if there is even a little criticism it's usually s bad sign, but I have over 20 CD's of this style and to my taste only the benchmark "K & D Sessions" and Nightmare on Wax's "Carboot Soul" can compete. It's cool, relaxing, sexy music. I most frequently listen to it while stuck in rush hour traffic to keep from pulling my hair out and almost regret pulling into the driveway. I've played the CD for multiple friends and they all like it. Those who are into the style agree that it is one of the best of the genre.

I've been looking for something between Fila Brazillia and Portishead and some other thing that I couldn't define until I heard it. This is it. This is two full hours of hyper-sexualized, highly entertaining, hypnotic groove. It is mesmerizing, but doesn't take itself too seriously. One of the best albums I own... and I've had it for less than 24 hours.
