The prospect of a full length album from any DJ/producer whose singles have wreaked havoc on dance floors the world over always brings a fear that they won't be able to deliver a full hour designed to be listened to in its entirety. Junior Jack's album debut Trust It is more a collection of good dance records than the fluffy mess of electronic music that often results from the pressure to show a supposedly more creative side.
Ignoring the contrived intro and skits, if you like the big funky house of "Thrill Me" or "E Samba," the majority of this album will delight. Tunes like "Da Hype" and "Stupid Disco" are proper upfront anthems and the progressive "Do It" is like a rougher, funkier version of Thomas Bangalter's "Scratch." On occasion the jazz and Latin vibes are used a little too much, as with the meandering house that is "Alone"; it's not a bad track but it sounds a little dated compared to the rest of the album. The same applies to "Hola," which cynically sounds like it was made especially for an Ibizan terrace. A potential radio crossover hit is the summer-friendly "Luv 2 U," which mixes the serotonin-soaked disco of Roger Sanchez with a Marlena Shaw vocal sample.
Trust It is a good album of funky house with most tracks sounding good in a club but as a DJ wouldn't play all 14 songs back to back, it's unlikely that many listeners will either. --David Trueman

Seeing them perform is like being in the presence of a guitar god accompanied by Jesus on the drums. If you ever get a chance to see them live, do. There is just no comparison for them. The Sluts of Trust is an uncommon duo, but that is what makes them wonderful. Get their first album while you can; these guys are going places.

Customer Reviews:
excellent sidestream house music.......2005-11-18
Full of hits.......2005-10-06
House catching the freestyle flu.......2004-11-15
This CD is right in the middle of the road, not pushing any envelopes, and doing a good job of selecting the right beeps and whistles and vocal samples. It's good pre-party stuff. Shout to the goth crowd: there's a strangely good mix of "Da Hype" featuring vocals from Robert Smith from the Cure.
Honestly though, the best dance music this year (2004) came from rock artists (Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, The Futureheads, Interpol), so if you need a house music fix and you can't wait for the next Basement Jaxx, Junior Jack can fill in the gap.
An excellent collection of Junior Jack's best.......2004-07-20
Trust It wastes no time in getting down to business, and after a short intro, you're right in the middle of the album's title track, Trust It. The next two songs build upon the first, leading into this arc's crescendo, Stupidisco, one of the album's best and most energetic tracks.
From here, things swing into a more Latin groove, leading off with The Roots, and transitioning into my favorite song of this batch, Alone, which is simply fantastic... smooth, clean, and dreamy. Hola didn't leave much of an impression on me (although I do like the sax), and E Samba reminded me of Trust It, with the addition of a samba flair, so once again, passable.
The next song, Luv 2 U, is by far my favorite song on this disc, and I turned it up once the vocals kicked in. Dripping with euphoric, sexual energy, it reminds you of the fun and loveliness that comes with being with the one that sweeps you off your feet, whether it's on the dancefloor or in the bedroom. Positive, upbeat, and represents the kind of house music I enjoy the most.
Moving into more tech-house territory, Thrill Me is a song that's been used in many other mixes, and will no doubt remind you of mixes from the likes of DJ Dan or Carl Cox. I really didn't care for the next song Depression, which as the title suggests, is a dirty, dark song that doesn't sound right on this disc.
Do It takes you right back into Glaude/Cox territory, and is a solid track that can no doubt move a crowd. Must Be The Darkness also took me by surprise, seeming completely out of place here. Guess it shows Junior Jack's versatility, but it didn't really do much for me.
The final track, the vocal version of Da Hype, is a great way to end the CD. Featuring Robert Smith from The Cure (one of my favorite bands of the 80's), I'm still trying to get used to the idea of Robert Smith's voice being paired with music like this and the trance-heavy sound of Blank & Jones with the remake of The Cure's A Forest. Still, it works, and for those who grew up with Smith in the days of Boys Don't Cry, Just Like Heaven, Inbetween Days, etc., hearing him again is a treat in itself.
In closing, I think Junior Jack's Trust It hits the target more often than it misses, and is worth taking a listen to if you enjoy high-energy club anthems and the various tiers of music that define the house sound.

Customer Reviews:
Compilation release.......2005-11-24
If you even slightly enjoy listening to the soprano voice, you will love these two luscious singers. Soprano duets are among my favorite classical music selections. Lott's clear, strong voice rings with authority and joy. Murray provides perfect harmony and occasional counterpoint.
I prefer the first disk (Sweet Power of Song) because it is more balanced and seems to represent the sopranos' favorite selections. However, disk 2 (On Wings of Song) has Rossini's delightful Cat Duet which is worth the price of both CDs as performed by this amazing duo.
Whether you buy this compilation set or the individual releases, I promise that you will love them and keep them near your player all the time.
