5.0 out of 5 stars Big up To MJ!!!, October 4, 2001

By	"spsk93" (Santa Fe, NM) - See all my reviews

This CD is and always will be a classic and a standard by which all other 2-step will go by. There are very few 2-step producers that can do what he did on this CD. He was one of the first major 2-step producers in the scene to really get the hype and hit the charts the way that very few dance music can, even in the UK. And the thing that makes him different from the others such as The Artful Dodger and Wookie, is that on this album there is such a mix of 2-step and just chill out grooves. He is not trying for the power of Crazy love or Atitude all through the CD. If you have heard about 2-step or heard 2-step, and want to get more, BUY THIS CD!! If you like house, Vocal D&B or any music for that matter, this is definetly one that will make people's heads turn with it's soulful vocals,hard hitting bass lines and smooth poping break beats. Also keep your eyes open for anything that MJ Cole touches as it is all perfect. That is why he has done remixes for people such as Mariah Carey and De La Soul. And for that person from San Fransisco who said that this is house with a D&B beat and vocals, he is almost right. But the thing that makes the difference between this and most D&B these days, is that this has SOUL(and it is not nearly as fast). America, 2-step is coming to get'Cha!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 2-step this is your leader, January 27, 2001

By A Customer

AFTER A SHORT STUDIO CAREER AS THE MOST PROFICIENT REMIXER IN THE UK DANCE SCENE, CLASSICALLY TRAINED COLE HAS TURNED HIS ATTENTION TO MORE ORIGINAL SOUNDS. THE ALBUM OPENS WITH SPARSE PIANO AND SOON WIDENS TO SOME OF THE MOST LUSH SOUNDS THAT YOU WILL HEAR. THE LISTENER IS TAKEN ON A GUIDED TOUR OF THE CREAM OF UK GARAGE AND 2-STEP. COMPLETE WITH VOCAL HITS FANTASTIC MINIMAL PERCUSSION TRADEMARK STRINGS AND SEXY VOCALS BY SOME OF THE SCENES TOP MCS AND SINGERS. TOP THIS OFF WITH BASSLINES THAT WILL SCARE YOUR GRANDMOTHER. THE SINGLES HAVE BEEN GIVEN HEAVY ROTATION BY DJS FROM ALL DANCE SCENES, WITH THE REMIXES BY MARCUS INTALEX AND TODD EDWARDS TEARING APART DRUM & BASS AND HOUSE PARTIES WORLDWIDE. ,MUST LISTEN TRACKS INCLUDE THE SINGLES SINCERE AND CRAZY LOVE, AS WELL AS THE HEAVY RAGGA INSPIRED BANDELERO DESPERADO. MJ COLE IS A MAN OF THE MOMENT, AND YOU WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT HIM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylistically hip and smooth, May 9, 2001

By	Erica Anderson (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I have M2 to thank for getting me into this relatively unknown artist (at least in the US). I caught a glimpse of pure heaven when I saw the video for "Crazy Love". Garage, or two-step as it is known sounds like drum & bass mixed with the smooth melodies and vocals of r&b. Definitely something I normally don't hear on the radio. The copy of "Sincere" I picked up included two remixes of "Sincere" and "Crazy Love". I am not a huge drum & bass because of the minimalist beats and melodies but two step or garage I can dig. The music has killer beats while the listener can sink their teeth right into the melodies which are catchy enough to keep this listener happy. I thoroughly enjoyed what I heard and am interested in this new subgenre of dance music.
