When I first heard the song, SORRY ,I fell in love with the vocalist and the music. FLY AWAY was a hit to me shortly after. When I heard they were coming out with a CD I couldn't waite. LOVED IT, well worth the waite!!!!!!

"That Day" is one of the BEST albums that I have purchased this year, period. I love the deep, groovy, laid back beats. Also, the vocals from Clara Hill, Jane Hamilton, and Rachel Foster on the title track, are beautiful. If you can find it, grab it!

Love all the different vocalists: Rachel Foster from Weekend Players, Clara Hill has her own on Sonar label; very cool. If you like those referenced you will like this.

It happens sometimes with me. This time it worked out well:

I was in my favorite record store in ATL (shouts out to Moods) and as usual he had something playing in the back ground that cought my attention. Like a blind mouse enticed by the hypnotic melodic sounds from the pipers flute, I found myself closer to the sales counter asking "yo, who's dat you playin..??". He smiles and hands me a CD with a cover resembling something from a colorful kids book. The track that grabbed me was "That Day". It's one of those tracks that no matter how much you try to keep still, you find yourself moving to it's groove. I was sold on this track. I can't lie, I bought a CD on the strength of one track...... I usually don't do that. The 1st month after purchase, this CD stayed in rotation on my Archos Mp3 player. Now it's shuffled into other favorite tracks of mine. This release is a must for anyone looking to add a rhythm to thier everyday life.

Mellow broken-beat future jazz from Magic Number on the joint Stereo Deluxe/Mantis Recordings album THAT DAY. And it hits all the right notes: the calm layered vocals and strings of "Turn Back" and "Suddenly" and the more uptempo groove and warbling chord progressions of "That Day." "My Interruption" gets slightly more digital with its all percussion format. For those in a brighter mood, "Sun Song" takes proto-African acoustic guitar and bass-fueled journey that's reminiscent of Atjazz's "Touch the Sun." "Fly Away" wouldn't be out of place on Naked Music. But although the production quality is undoubtedly great, the songs themselves seemed to neutral, with neither any standouts nor any bombs. The consistency seems to flatten the album as a whole, so while "Sad World" has more of a melancholic tinge to the music, the lyrics don't reflect this. Some more variation would be welcome, though there's no disputing the easygoing mood and vibe here.
