4.0 out of 5 stars WONDERful, but incomplete, November 30, 1999

This review is from: Original Musiquarium I - 2 disc set (Audio CD)

This collection consists of 12 of Wonder's best '70's tracks, plus four tracks that were new at the time of this collection's release. What's amazing is that the new tracks are on a par with the best-of material. The timelessness of this music--it mostly sounds as fresh today as it did when it was recorded 20-25 years ago--makes a strong argument for Wonder as THE artist of the '70's. What keeps this collection from a full five stars is the exclusion of any material from his '60's and early '70's Motown albums. And what makes listening to this album a bit sad is the realization that he would never really hit these artistic heights again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a Swim in The Musiquarium, February 10, 2000

By 

Dean Martin Dent - See all my reviews

This review is from: Original Musiquarium I - 2 disc set (Audio CD)

Between the strict Motown hit making machinery between 63-71,and the MOR 80's and beyond,are these historical recordings from 1972's Music Of My Mind through 1980's Hotter Than July.Musiquarium focuses strictly on the hits(Superstition,..Sunshine..,Sir Duke etc)as well as include four new songs,three of which are now regarded as Wonder Classics(the melancholy,yet seductive That Girl,the ultimate love song Ribbon in The Sky,and the jammin' yet overlong Do I Do).Unfortunatly Stevie's gift of making music of this caliber has dissipated,but Musiquarium is a great introduction for anyone who thinks his best songs include I Just Called To Say I Love You and other 80's tracks.
