5.0 out of 5 stars Compilation of the year, November 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Strange Games III (Audio CD)

BBE's deal with Masters At Work has borne much lush fruit this year, and nowhere more so than on this beautiful compilation of smooth, funky, soulful grooves. Previous "Strange Games..." comps occasionally preferred rarity to quality, leading to sets which, IMHO, pitched themselves more at the chinstrokers out there than the true music lover. No such accusation could be leveled at Kenny's selection on Vol.3, which is far and away the best of the series. There is literally not a dud tune in this whole selection, and Kenny's blend is an exquisite, uplifting, mind-expanding journey from start to finish. What is particularly pleasing is the lack of flash in the mixing - Kenny really lets the music take you on a journey, and shows that the real skill is to be found in the sequencing, not pointless "look at me" turntablism. This subtlety and restraint is, for me, the hallmark of a real master DJ at work. What with Harmless, Strut, SoulJazz and many other labels bringing real taste and beauty to their selections these days, we may well be in the golden age of the compilation at the moment - Strange Games Vol. III is a definite contender for the best of the bunch in a mightily strong field. A truly wicked selection - Kenny, you know the score!

I heard some cuts of this package in a bar and knew I had to get it. This triple CD set is a fun mix of funk, R&B and dance. All 3 disks are compilations of 70's B-sides by the likes of Parliament, Herbie Hancock, Barry White, Roy Ayers and others. One of the disks has been re-mixed by Kenny Dope with some interesting treatments added. Strange Games and Funky Things Vol. 3 is quickly becoming one of the most played in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A KILLER!!, November 29, 2001

Look no further for Funky Soul! *** The label is very good, look around in the BBE label! This is probably the best in the series. Start here! *** (Don't complain about the number of discs; it is like this: you get a 2CD, and a mixed disc as bonus that you don't have to play) *** And don't forget to look around in what the HARMLESS label has to offer!! (Africa Funk, Pulp Fusion,..)
