5.0 out of 5 stars These guys are incredible!, July 18, 2001

As most musicians know, the road to stardom is not paved with gold, it's paved with struggle: struggle with your label, with your bandmates, with trying to "make it". Few San Francisco have fought harder for success than this Om Records music collective. You know the best thing? You can't hear the fight in their music. You hear smoothness. If Portishead and Sade had children, they might sound something like Soulstice.

This album is perfect for those mellow Sunday

evenings, and that lazy weekend wake-up when you wish you could just stay in bed all day, lying in your lover's embrace. Carefully walking a middle road between their diverse musical influences that range from Soul to Drum & Bass, lead singer Gina Rene kills us softly with her song on beautiful tracks like 'Fall Into You' and 'Surrender'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Definate Addition to Any Music Library, June 19, 2001

It's hard these days to get tuned into music like this. Most of the time great new bands like Soulstice go unheard of for years and only if "popular radio stations" play them do they ever get out to the masses. A great chill out and late night cruise cd, Soulstice has an excellent balance of positive blues grooves and vocals. Providing not only memerable sounds and lyrics, this album gives the listener a constant flow of tracks which keep very well in line with each other. If you are someone looking for new sounds or just in need of a great kick back cd this is a great buy. Hitting the repeat button on the cd player will definately occur once you listen to this disc.

I listen to old school hip-hop, R&B, Contemporary jazz and electronic Jazz. All I know is... If you could picture a younger Sade as a white chick who hungout with skateboarder kids...you would arrive at Soulstice. Laid back. I am feelin' this album. Do ya thang Soulstice!

Favorite Tracks: "Fall into you", "Illusion", and "Tenderly"
