 Brilliantly mix set of classics | |
| I really can't agree with some of the other reviews of this album saying that certain tracks are tired, and sloppily-mixed. Sure, some of the tracks are classics that you will have heard before, but there are several leftfield choices and quite a few real gems. Steve 'Silk' Hurley's mix uses Protools' trickery, tuning and filters to make the transition between tracks either seamlessly or cleverly. Although he is better know for his house tracks/remixes, there's nothing sloppy about this CD at all. Despite the second volume still being my favourite, this first one remains a perfect party-starter, and I can't wait for the next volume to come out. | |
 Technically okay, with the Hurley touch, but.... | |
| ....how many times can you get away with putting "More Bounce To the Ounce", "Dazz", "Slide" and "Funkin' For Jamaica" (which, like I said earlier, is ubiquitous) on ol' Skool mixes and expect to sound fresh? I am positively surprised that "Atomic Dog" and "Genius Of Love" is not on this, this being a bucket of cliches...find something new, we're wearing these jams out. | |
 All the "Party People" in the house, let's jam! | |
| Tom Joyner, host of one of America's most popular radio shows, has crafted an "old school mix" featuring a slew of some of the greatest dance classics of the 70's. Talk about your hits, this one has the ones that had discos "thumping and bumping" into the morning's wee hours. "Best of My Love, "Got to be Real," "Le Freak," "I'm Every Woman," along with fourteen other "scorchers" will get those hearts a-pumpin' and those feet a-jumpin'! An additional note, always the humanitarian and concerned citizen, Joyner includes information about his foundation in the hopes of acquiring funds to help needy college-bound kids. The check is in the mail, my man! |
