2WHEW!

I didn't like this album at first but it REALLY REALLY started to grow on me!I just had to keep my mind open and 'imaginate'...The driving beats, and atmospheric synths really make you feel as if your floating or swimming underwater. Tracks 2,3,4,6,7,9 really put my mind in overdrive...I'm talkin' mermaid fantasies--

Maybe I went too far with that one! I definitely dig this album!!

King britt is as good in deep house music as in hip-hop, jazz, soul, & broken beat...I discovered this CD with the title "High Priestess (Scuba remix). This was the most amazing deep house track I had ever heard. It made me dream, imagine, it was a masterpiece. Deep vocals, dreamy soundscape and catchy drum programming, scuba project is really innovative. Other tracks? really good too. 4X4, Wake Up, Adore...deep house at his best. When you hear it, you wanna close your eyes and goin' trough a long & deep imaginative travel...
Like adventures in lo-fi, Scuba is a fantastic project. Hidden treasures is fresh, and MUST be in your deep house collection.

Scuba (King Britt) is as versatile as they come. He is able to combine all sorts of sounds from deep house to ambient/chill music. His style of using voices as an instrument, almost like skat music, is amazing. Then he throws it on top of a broken beat that just makes you nod your head. Most of the tracks are not your trance norm, so if you are a remix fan looking for some heavy dancefloor beats, this might not be the album for you. However, if you are willing to expand your horizons, this may be the album to do it.

I am a big fan of the broken beat style. Scuba seems to have mastered it. Its amazing what he has done. This CD is remarkable and I recommend it to all. Happy Listening.

I just picked up this disc 4 years after its release. I'm usually always late when it comes to discovering fresh, hot talent. But I'm always on a constant search to find new music no matter when it came out--just as long as it doesn't sound dated. King Britt a/k/a/ Scuba does an excellent job of bringing you music that will always sound fresh and inviting for years to come. From beginning to end "Hidden Treasures" offers rare, remixed tracks that are every bit atmospheric and catchy as they are groovin' and funky. "Hidden Treasures" will have you feeling remarkably relaxed while at the same time evoking that dancefloor demon inside you. Highly Recommended!!!

today, i finally decided to throw down the 15 bucks for "hidden treasures". i've read fantastic reviews for this album, and all the reviewers on amazon.com seem to like it. so i sprung for it.

it's taking a little while to sink in. i immeadiately liked the remix, or reconstruction of the tweaker song "linoleum". i think it is great. but, after that, i'm not sure. i'm sure it will grow on me, like a fungus, until it becomes an edidble mushroom, capable of taking my mind to new places. but, until then, i'll give it 3and1half stars.

There are some really good tracks on this album. One I feel that is great is "I Bet You Never Thought I'd Find You." This album makes for a nice chill out session.

this is one of the greatest deep house compilations. king britt is a master of remixes and a true genius of sound and mood!...
