5.0 out of 5 stars Get Ya Hands on This One, November 5, 2000

Here's a combination of mixing and production I was delightfully surprised to see; with Louie Vega and Rheji Burrell collaborating to bring a great sampling of the Burrell's work from the legendary label, Nugroove. Rheji and Ronald's contribution to the classic New York house sound is extraordinary. This CD contains some tracks not included in previous NuGroove compilations, such as, "I'm Glad You Come To Me", "Somebody Skat'n", and "I Desire U". Even this CD does not begin to cover the amount of excellent tracks by the Burrell's NuGroove years, but any chance to find more of their classic material released on CD is a treasure.

4.0 out of 5 stars wasn't NU Groove's catalog a bit larger than this!?, February 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: New York Underground (Audio CD)

Little Louie does it again...blah blah blah...
Although it's an above average compilation, it fails to really capture the innovative, uncompromising essence that was once NU Groove (and Burrell), as other, even better, tracks were left out!
Louie has played many NU Groove tracks before, it's not like he's unfamiliar w/ the label, but still...
Also, at least 5 additional tracks could've been "mixed" into this compilation, if they really wanted to mix it.
This wouldn't appeal to most of the younger cats, but I would strongly advise them to research NU Groove on 12" vinyl format!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic early 90's Garage, June 18, 2000

I have this cd, and it is fantastic. Songs I listened to on the radio and in the clubs in NYC. When I purchased it I only recalled knowing some of the songs by name. Once I listened I realized I knew almost all of the songs. Excellent buy for those true house (garage) fans.
