This CD is awesome. If you love and know hip-hop but at the same time enjoy jazz, then this cd is for you. All the songs are done so well, that you would think these were the original ones. The jazz is very relaxing and not overdone, so it's perfect to study or sleep to.

This review is from: Unwrapped the Ultimate Box Set (Audio CD)

After quite a while the time was right for me to get the whole box set after a colleague led me to this music series when he showed me Hidden Beach's "Electric Relaxation" (one of the songs included in this box set).
Man, I should have listened to the previews on this website...

By looking at the track listing and taking "Electric Relaxation" as the lead example I felt this would be my kind of "Jazzy take on Hip-Hop/R&B", I came home and prepared myself to be dazzled by the sounds of not one BUT FOUR discs!

You realize the musicianship on the set and production quality is very good as you delve into each song but right from the first track ("Crush On You") you also find that you are headed the wrong direction (if you were looking for a smoother, jazzier type of sound). You are encountered by music which is sometimes so close to the original song that you wonder if you picked up the right product.

The first few bars of each track usually are very Hip-Hop driven with random scratching, heavy kicks, and overall, a sound way too strong for what is expected of a smoother Jazz collection. Then the vocals come in, almost straight from the original song and carefully redone as if to remind the listener ones again: "You are listening to a remake of 'One More Chance'..." WHY?! WHYYYYY?!
It would have been so pleasing to see this music redone in an "all-out" Jazz type of flava but it seems that somewhere in the creation process there was a need to R&B-it.

Again, there is good music in this CD set but its more R&B than it is Jazz. If you are looking for something truly smooth, jazzy and relaxed, something that you can groove to on your way back from work or while sipping a cold drink at home with your lady I don't think you will find it here.

Be sure to listen to preview samples before you buy.
In addition to this set I picked up a CD called "Smooth urban Grooves" by Soul Providers. It was more like what I wanted.

Amazon shipped the product quickly as described. Happy with the transaction.
