Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording
It's only because A Tribe Called Quest's first two albums--People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm and The Low End Theory--are so filled with great singles that the remixes on Revised Quest for the Seasoned Traveller are essential listening. The songs are freed from the constraints of having to fit into the style of the rest of the album, and Tribe open up the treasure chest: "The Luck of Lucien" gets a Deee-Lite-style disco beat; Norman Cook (a.k.a. Fatboy Slim) recasts "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" with a tropical flavor; "Public Enemy" gets the dance-floor treatment; and "Can I Kick It?" is paid tribute with some funky new asides. Only the classic posse cut "Scenario"--which feels overcrowded by its newly dense soundscape--fails to improve with the added attention. --Randy Silver

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Tribe fans, February 2, 1999

This review is from: Revised Quest for the Seasoned Traveller (Audio CD)

You may think that the price is too much for a cd. But the beats on this disc are the bomb. Combining both old and new Tribe remixes make this album a necessity for any and all Tribe Called Quest fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yo the cd is phat, January 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Revised Quest For The Seasoned Traveller (Audio CD)

Description of a fool, Check the Rhime, and Jazz are what make the cd phat. In the traditions of the Tribe, this album presents an atmosphere of abstract opposite of the spectrum like "Beats Rhymes and Life". If you are a Tribe Called Quest fan, then this will certainly tingle your third eye with pleasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag, March 28, 2001

By	Paul H. "rmj84" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Revised Quest For The Seasoned Traveller (Audio CD)

A Tribe Called Quest's first two albums (People's Instinctive Travels and The Low End Theory) are classics, required listening for any fan of hip-hop or music in general. Due to the outstanding quality of the tracks on those albums, it would be pretty hard to remix them and do justice. Only a few of the remixes on Revised Quest For The Seasoned Traveller really give the originals some competition: the upbeat, horn-infused "Scenario (Young Nation Mix)", a harder version of "Jazz (We've Got)" with new lyrics and production, and "Can I Kick It? (Extended Boilerhouse Mix)." The rest ranges from good to mediocre. The remix of "Pubic Enemy" is funkier than the original, but still nice while the remix of "Check The Rhime" seems too tame and overly-poppy. The first remix of "Bonita Applebum" is okay, the version of "Description of A Fool" isn't much different from the original except for its length, the "Butter" remix is nowhere near as good as the original, and the remixes of "I Left My Wallet..." and "Luck Of Lucien" are mediocre. "Bonita Applebum (Hootie Mix)," with new lyrics and a nice beat, was one of the first tracks to use the "Between The Sheets" sample that has been done to death over the years. The addition of the hard-to-find "If The Papes Come" is a nice touch too as its a classic Tribe track. The "Spirit Mix" of "Can I Kick It?" should have been included here, but sadly, it's missing. In conclusion, if you're a die-hard fan of A Tribe Called Quest, pick this up. If not, you might want to pass as you're not missing anything too spectacular. Stick with The Low End Theory and People's Instinctive Travels... instead.
