This album of is full brilliant material with a mix a very interesting dance songs and a beautiful gospel ballad, "Shadow of a heart". The remixes are great as well. A must have for true Sylvester fans

I rememember dancing to "Sex" at the clubs and listening to "Rock the Box" on the radio when we all would be going out partying in the car. This c.d. brings back good memories. Isn't that what buying some music is about? Associating song with good times past. Don't get me wrong, the music stands alone,plus you get bonus remixes not found on the original album. Not my favorite sylvester project but still quite good.

This is, well at least for me, Sylvester's best album. This album has productions by Kessie/Goldstein who wrote for other Megatone acts including Modern Rocketry.
The opening track "Rock The Box" has a slight Freestyle sound, reminding me a little of Shannon's "Let The Music Play" or Carol Lynn Townes' "99 1/2".
"Lovin' Is Really My Game" is a thumping disco classic much in the same vein as "Mighty Real" . "Shadow Of A Heart" is incredible, and the production stands up with what is out there today, well it's actually much better, like most 80s music.
This CD issue is great, the mastering is incredible and is a must. If you love Hi NRG, Disco, well written songs and a great voice you NEED this album. Now.
