The Philadelphia Experiment Remixed

Amazon.com
In 2001, jazz pianist and bassist and Uri Caine and Christian McBride teamed up with drummer Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson of the Roots. They created the Philadelphia Experiment, a jazzy shout-out to the City of Brotherly Love. This time around, the fabulous Philly remixer King Britt, who has worked with Tori Amos, Mary Wilson, and Macy Gray, rhythmically reincarnates the original tracks with club-friendly dance beats. Along with Britt's trip-hop textured "The Miles Hit (King Britt Scuba Remix)," the CD also features some fancy, funky, and futuristic retakes by several of Philly's finest DJs. The grooves range from the techno-tempoed "(Re)Moved" and Paul Edward's eerie, echoplexed bass lines on "The Orange Line" to the salsoul swing of the new track, "Grover III (The Theme to Massagejawn.com)" by ?uestlove (as the Randy Watson Experience). With their inventive use of special effects and synthesizers, remixers like King Britt have added jazz-like innovations to electronica-based pop music. --Eugene Holley Jr.

A particular atmosphere which attracts me........2005-03-20

I love King Britt for his eclectic sounds in electronic (hip-hop, acid jazz, funk, deep house...) and I find this album pretty good and enough original. I can't really describe the style of electronic music in this philadelphia experiment remixed. Downtempo, future jazz, broken beats and some deep ambiances...and one thing is sure: this album makes you imagine.All tracks are good, particulary the tracks 1,3,5 (scuba remix),9 (obafunke remix) and 15 (bikter duplaix remix).
If you like king britt, you can't be disappointed. If you want to discover electronic music, buy something a bit less abstract

Decent to a Point.......2003-08-25

This album is more of 2.5 stars than 3, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. This album has a fairly wide variety of sounds for all kinds of listeners, with two or three standout tracks. However, the songs are overly repetetive. The songs are all fairly long (with the exception of the interludes, all based on streets in Philedelphia, and all less than 20 seconds) and monotonous. They have good beats and have interesting grooves, but it has the potential to do much more. This CD has classic music potential, and could have been if the songs were all kept shorter than 5 minutes or had kept changing throughout the 8 or 9 minute songs. After a while, it begins to lose your interest. It is unlike most of King Britt's other music, especially because he only wrote one song on the 19 track CD (That track is a Scuba mix, one of KB's many stage names, and is inferior to each track on his relatively new Scuba album.). If you are a KB fanatic, then this CD may fulfill your fix, but if you are looking for a "nu/acid jazz" fix, this may not be your cup of tea.

Experimental Sound.......2003-06-24

This CD is too advanced for the average listener. You have to be a true lover of music to feel this CD. I highly recommend it for those who have an eclectic ear.

A Good CD Just Got Better.......2002-09-03

I have been hearing for awhile that this CD was in the process of being remixed. By whom and in what format, I wasn't sure of. Not until a couple of weeks ago, I found out King Britt was behind this......and that's enough for me to get this with out hearing a track. Broken beats, eletronic thumps, phat beats galore and the Philly Experiment blended and smothered nicely to make this a great nu-jazz/acid jazz (I hate labels) vibe. Seriously, there isn't a weak or bad track on this CD to be found. Up-tempo, down-tempo, a head nod magnet is what your getting when you purchase this gem. King Britt & company continues to provide ear candy.

Essential for jazz and hip hop lovers........2003-08-05

This is the album that redefines hip hop. It's versitility is only exceeded by its modesty. You listen to an album like this when nothing exists but you and the music. The "just the two of us" hidden track has to be heard to be believed. An unbelievably smooth album that'll make anyone want to be a little scandalous. Pick this one up.
