Editorial Reviews

Vibe Magazine, September 2001

One of the strongest albums to come out this year in any genre!

Product Description

With their new blazing hit single 'Elevation' already creating serious interest in all the right house nEjazz circles, the enigmatic BLAZE return with their third and most polished work to date, 'NATURAL BLAZE'. Their uniquely soulful and afrocentric sound on 'NATURAL BLAZE' links the 20th and 21st centuries together with its poetic magic and set to be a future classic album from Life Line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keith's Review, March 5, 2002

For the lover of the true deep house this is a must have. If you liked 'Basic Blaze' you'll love this one. My favorites are 'Elevation' and 'Revolution Poem', but there is not one song on the cd you'll want to skip over. Blaze has firmly established their unique afrocentic style of house music. Two thumbs up!

Blaze continues to create solid house, with enough jazz and groove to last a lifetime. On Natural Blaze, they're joined by James Toney Jr., a powerful soul vocalist. Their production is spot-on, as always, but after a while, none of the songs particularly stand out, except for the sublime "Elevation." There's some wicked scat vocals on "Better Days," but if asked to distinguish this album from the slate of good house albums out there, you'd be hard pressed to say why this one should be superlative.

This review is from: Natural Blaze (Audio CD)

This is a great album....an mixture of what classic earth, wind and fire would be today and mellow 3 a.m. club music. This album is a true progression from house and club music of the 80's into the age of sexy lounge music. Any true progressive d.j. should have this in their collection and so should any after-hour cocktail server in their personal music collection.
Enjoy.
