Product Description

Marley Marl remained on board, and Large Professor and Eric B. also hopped on to help produce Kool G Rap & DJ Polo's second album. With a wider range of sounds and the expansion of G Rap's lyrical range, "Wanted: Dead or Alive" is wholly deserving of classic status. The opening "Streets of New York" remains one of the most thrilling and unique rap singles released; the sparse rhythm, adorned with assured piano runs that complement the song to the point of almost making the song, falls somewhere between a gallop and a strut, and G Rap outlines more vivid scenes than one film could possibly contain. The track cemented their role as East Coast legends and showed Kool G Rap's talent as an adept storyteller like nothing before or since. Likewise, "Talk Like Sex" is the nastiest, raunchiest thing he ever recorded, with "I m pounding you down until your eyeballs pop out" acting as an exemplary claim, as well as one of the few that is printable, made in the song. The boasts, as ever, are in no short supply, but "Erase Racism" takes a break from the normal proceedings with guest spots from Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie. It's both funny and sobering, with Biz's Three Dog Night chorus providing comic relief after each verse. This album is only part of a major swarm of brilliant rap records from 1990, but it will never be lost in it, and it's important because it's the release that influenced Rakim and Kane to step their game up to levels they didn't know they could go to. Cold Chillin' and Traffic proudly present "Wanted: Dead or Alive", available for the first time as a double disc set, including the original album, and a plethora of substantial bonus material, from artwork to audio. With all the songs being digitally re-mastered, this project has been thought out, done right and handled with care, and we hope you enjoy it.

Product Description

Kool G Rap DJ Polo's "Road to the Riches" had been a long time coming when Cold Chillin' released it in 1989. It didn't disappoint. After some successful singles and G Rap's contributions to Marley Marl's Juice Crew, the duo arrived almost fully formed on its debut. Whether boasting (his greatest strength at this point) or spinning tales, G Rap's knife-edged rhymes -- delivered with the hardest-sounding lisp in hip-hop -- tear through Marley Marl's productions and DJ Polo's scratching with all the ferocity of a pit bull devouring a piece of meat. Though tracks like "Poison", "It s a Demo", and the title track won this record a lot of respect, there are several other moments that help make this a remarkable debut. On "Men at Work", lines like, "I drop rhymes on paper and then build a skyscraper/When I die scientists will preserve my brain/Donate it to science to answer the unexplained" whip by so fast that it s easy to overlook Marl and Polo's perfectly snarling, densely percussive backdrop. Marl's imaginative sampling gleans from all sorts of unexpected sources, like the harmonica from Area Code 615's "Stone Fox Chase", the odd phasings of Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express" (no one used it like this), and the burbling synths from Gary Numan's "Cars" (remember, this was the late 80s). People throw the word classic around lightly. Kool G Rap and DJ Polo's debut album is a triumph in the Hip Hop world that has withstood the test of time, and will always be referred to as a cohesive project that demonstrates lyrical and production ability, as well as artistic chemistry. Cold Chillin' Records and Traffic proudly present Kool G Rap and DJ Polo's "Road To The Riches", available for the first time as a 2-disc set, including the original album, and a plethora of substantial bonus material, from artwork to audio.

A Great Deluxe Treatment for a Classic Rap Album.......2007-02-28

Kool G Rap-- His lisp is still crisp-- Possessing one of the most distinctive voices in hip-hop, he blazed a trail for several rappers to follow, despite being relatively unknown by mainstream standards. He's kind of like Iggy Pop of the hip hop world-- he never sold a tremendous amount of records, but he maintains a cult following that won't quit, while scores of newcomers point to him as an influence.
The 2 disc collection starts off in the late-1980's, back when the Marley Marl-led "Juice Crew" was among the early hip-hop posses to achieve prominence, being signed to Prism Records, which eventually would become Cold Chillin'. Shortly afterwards, label head Ty Williams secured a distribution deal with Warner Bros.
"I'm Fly" and "It's a Demo" are sparse early tracks which makes listeners focus even more on Kool G's lyrics. At this time, he was somewhere between LL Cool J and Rakim, spouting whimsical braggadocio with occasional inflections of sober battle-ready aggression. His technique would be fine-tuned on his first album, "Road to the Riches", featuring the title cut, "Dope Car" (sampling Gary Numan), "Poison", and "Men at Work". Marley's 808-driven funk production is at it's best here. The first disc has the original album and a few bonus cuts including the early, non-album singles. The second disc has a great collection of rarities, including radio promos & interviews, as well as alternate takes, remixes & instrumentals which were previously only available on 12" maxi-singles during the original release of the album (the best of the bunch: an alternate take of Big Daddy Kane's "Raw" featuring Kool G. The collection has better than average liner notes, including commentaries from photographer George DuBose, Ty Williams and Kool G Rap himself. There are also lyrics printed for all the original songs.

"A Re-Mastered Masterpiece!".......2007-02-11

This is the ultimate and most definitive Kool G Rap & DJ Polo ollection EVER!! Superior sound quality and a bonus CD containing their early sigles from '86, radio freestyles and remixes. Their best collection yet! a must have CD! A re-mastered Hip-Hop masterpiece, what more can you ask for?

Classic Golden Age Hip Hop from MC Shan.......2007-05-12

Shawn Moltke, a.k.a. MC Shan, was an aspiring hip-hop MC from New York City, who grew up in the now-infamous Queensbridge housing projects. Hooking up with cousin Marlon Williams (a.k.a. DJ Marley Marl), they produced a string of singles for the indie Prism label which led to a recording contract for a full album from Cold Chillin'/Warner Bros. Records. The results are contained here in Shan's first full-length LP, "Down By Law". Needless to say, Shan was affiliated with the loose-knit rap collective The Juice Crew, and his aggressive style brought him into conflict with the rap group Boogie Down Productions, who quickly became the Bronx-based regional rivals to the Queens-centric Juice Crew.
The new Traffic archival release, "Down By Law" has all the early, pre-album singles by MC Shan, like "Jane, Stop this Crazy Thing", Left Me Lonely", "Kill that Noise", and the undisputed classic "The Bridge". The 2-disc set (30 cuts deep!) also includes an almost overwhelming amount of bonus material in the form of numerous 12"-inch/EP alternate takes, remixes, and rare recordings like radio freestyles and live-in-concert recordings.

Pros:
Marley Marl's production was pioneering in hip-hop, one of the first to make extensive use of the then-available sampling technology of such machines as the TR-808 and SP-1200. Drum, bass and horn licks from the likes of James Brown and more can be heard here for the "first" time. MC Shan is a capable rapper succeeding more as a storyteller, though he has capable freestyles and battle-raps. With his Queens allegiance, Kangol cap and pin-up good looks, he was kind of a lesser-known LL Cool J. Surprisingly, Shan lays his substance abuse issues bare with "Cocaine".

Cons:
The romantic sentiments of "Left Me Lonely" are short-circuited by the sexism of "Jane..." and "Project Ho" (both about women who can't give up a sex/drug fix). Given that Shan's follow-up albums, "Born to be Wild" and "Play it Again, Shan" failed to have the same commercial impact as his debut, "Down By Law" is virtually his defining artistic statement, especially when you consider the bonus material. Only MC Shan completists should look further.

Amazon.com

The opening track here is aptly titled "The Feeling I Get," because there is a certain good vibe to Brown's style and his melodies. Brown's use of swinging horn sections and the way he pads his lines with reeds, blending in swirls of triplets with his Wes Montgomery/George Benson sound, can't help but make real smooth-jazz lovers feel good and smile. The expert pen of the tasteful veteran arranger Jerry Hey on the opener (and the following title track) magnifies this unique sound. This album takes a left turn on the four vocal tracks. Chante Moore and Michael McDonald totally dominate their turns, but the other two are real gems. Singers Debbie Nova and Miki Howard, respectively, on "Won't You Stay" and "Not Like You Do," mix in their neo-soul style perfectly as Brown sounds like himself, not just another guitarist playing behind a singer. Even then, the vocals get in the way of a fine guitar player. To really hear a great new Norman Brown record, program the CD player to skip the singing. Other standouts include the bouncy "Night Drive" (featuring Rick Braun) and Janet Jackson's "Let's Wait Awhile." --Mark Ruffin

Norman Brown...Just Chillin.......2005-10-05

The Best New Smooth Jazz Guitarist Around. A must have for your collection.

Norman Brown, a lost cause.......2005-07-31

This album...weak weak weak... as far as I'm concerned, Norman hasn't played Jazz since After The Storm, arguably Better Days Ahead. Vocals are bad enough, but Norman singing lead on various tracks is just horrible.

Another strong outing by Brown.......2003-11-09

Norman Brown is that rare smooth jazz artist these days that falls comfortably between the roots of his form and the tastes of the forms modern audience. If you're into traditional jazz, you can't help but respect the guy's guitar playing. If you're into smooth jazz, he's the most complex mainstream act in the vein. Even when he handles such radio staples as Janet Jackson, he doesn't do what most acts do and simply play the vocal notes on his instrument of choice over an essentially instrumental version of the original. His covers retain and add mad soul, and his arrangements are not to be slept on. He covers stuff second only to Stanley Jordan (his cover of Michael Jackson's "Lady in My Life" from his 1990 "Magic Touch" album) is the most perfect smooth jazz cover ever), who simply refuses to release anything new these days, so Brown is a fine replacement. While he dots this record with fine singers, I'm ever-drawn to the instrumental work on his records. These tracks showcase his incredible ear for a well-constructed and pleasing song, and his playing really shines on tracks where his is the sole voice.

Not a classic like his "After the Storm" record, but a solid purchase through and through.

Hate It.......2003-10-04

That which is Jazz is good music but, there are far too many vocal selections. I buy and listen to Jazz for the quiet times. I find most vocals contained on many Jazz CD's to be an intrusion. Were these vocal additives true Jazz vocals they would be fine.

Jazz Lover

Bad! what a guy!.......2003-09-06

Norman Norman Norman. A Nerdy Name, an amazing record. I love to hear him pick. No one these days can do what he can. Give me back Benson and Klugh and let them jam with Norm and Bernie Williams, and i'll fall over and die happy! Way to go norm,it's another hit! Go for this one, no matter what! It's fantastic

Product Description

When the Wu-Tang Clan came out of the gate in late 1993, they brought with them a new style, a style that literally changed the rap game just as Dr. Dre had done a year earlier. But even though it seemed like the Wu came from nowhere, they actually had a rather modest beginning. “Words From the Genius” is that beginning. Originally released in 1991 on the mighty Cold Chillin’ label, the album features the Genius, and to a lesser degree RZA (here known as Prince Rakeem). When you consider Cold Chillin's roster in 1991, most notably Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap, “Words From the Genius” seems to be a perfect fit. Like those two rappers, the Genius merged bravado with the darkside of street life and delivered his street-smart rhymes with muscle. The album, produced by Easy Mo Bee, was heavily influenced by the wishes of its label Cold Chillin‘, who were eager to make it a commercial success. The album, however, was a commercial disappointment; GZA's experience with Cold Chillin’, combined with a similar ordeal for RZA at Tommy Boy, generated a bitterness towards the music industry that would be expressed lyrically throughout his career, and would ultimately provide the impetus for the Wu-Tang Clan's revolutionary ruthless business strategy. This official Cold Chillin / Traffic Ent. reissue includes two rare bonus cuts: the very dope “Pass the Bone” and the “Words from A Genius (Prince Rakeem Remix)”, both produced by the RZA. Get a hold of this album and see where it all began...

Pretty good 1st album from GZA/Genius.......2006-10-18

This was way before the Wu-Tang days, I think originally recorded around 1990 (just look at him on the cover), when it was the the RZA (who was known as Prince Rakeem and had a single out around the same time called "We Love You Rakeem" which never really caught any buzz) and the Genius (not even the GZA yet) so don't expect the classic Wu sound and Ol' Dirty may have been with them at the time but I'm not sure. You get the golden age of NY hip-hop beats (mid 80's), nothin fancy but a drum machine and maybe a twist thrown in here and there. The album is good for it's age although I heard it only sold around 11,000 copies when first released due to lack of marketing (same with RZA's single which led them to start the mighty Wu-Tang). Standout tracks are the Classic "Pass the Bone" f/ RZA = one of my favorite tracks that any of the 2 are on - ever -- It's that nice of a song, and "Words from the Genius", "Who's Ya Rhymin Hero", "True Fresh M.C's", "Those were the Days", "Life of a Drug Dealer". They're my favorites but the others are still nice, a must ahve album for fans to see where the Great Wu came from.

Product Description

In 1990 Grand Daddy I.U., the Barry White of Hip Hop, had cats shook with his dope yet underappreciated debut album "Smooth Assassin". NYC radio showed I.U. love rotating "Sugar Free", because the song had that modified-new-jack-swing sound that exploded between `89 and `92. After his brother, DJ Kay Cee, convinced him to make a demo, I.U. was signed to Cold Chillin' Records. I.U.'s association with the Juice Crew (Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Kool G Rap, Roxanne Shante, MC Shan, Masta Ace and Craig G) gave people an idea of his capablities. "Smooth Assassin" dropped and emerging NY rappers saw a glimpse into raps' future that placed clever rhymes ahead of showmanship and gaudy clothing. "Something New" is genius. In 1966 James and Bobby Purify hit number six on the pop charts with "I m Your Puppet". Thirty-four years later Cutmaster Cool V and Biz Markie freaked "Puppet" and a generation of b-boys and b-girls got down to a loop their parents sock-hopped to. Lyrically I.U. wrecked the competition with punchy lines that bounce on Markie's drum pattern and float over these classic piano keys. "Soul Touch" is NY scratch rap at its roots and its best. I.U.'s brother Kay Cee provided the cuts and probably found the chorus sample. I.U. is great on this track. Line after line he commands rap cliches before they could be called cliches. The man raps, "So let the soul be heard, `cause it s preferred and that's word to Big Bird", I.U. had this on record way before anyone else. "Smooth Assassin" was entirely produced by the legendary Biz Markie with help from his DJ Cutmaster Cool V, recorded at the infamous Power Play Studios in Queens and engineered by DJ Doc of B.D.P. fame. If you've ever wondered what I.U. stood for, well it's his real name. If you ever wondered when this rare yet classic album from the Cold Chillin' vaults would get the reissue it deserves, well, the time is now.

Album Description

In 1990 Grand Daddy I.U., the Barry White of Hip Hop, had cats shook with his dope yet underappreciated debut album Smooth Assassin. NYC radio showed I.U. love rotating 'Sugar Free', because the song had that modified-new-jack-swing sound that exploded between `89 and `92. After his brother, DJ Kay Cee, convinced him to make a demo, I.U. was signed to Cold Chillin' Records. I.U.'s association with the Juice Crew (Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Kool G Rap, Roxanne Shante, MC Shan, Masta Ace and Craig G) gave people an idea of his capabilities. Smooth Assassin dropped and emerging NY rappers saw a glimpse into raps' future that placed clever rhymes ahead of showmanship and gaudy clothing. Lyrically I.U. wrecked the competition with punchy lines that bounce on Markie's drum pattern and float over these classic piano keys. Smooth Assassin was entirely produced by the legendary Biz Markie with help from his DJ Cutmaster Cool V, recorded at the infamous Power Play Studios in Queens and engineered by DJ Doc of B.D.P. fame. If you've ever wondered what I.U. stood for, well it's his real name. If you ever wondered when this rare yet classic album from the Cold Chillin' vaults would get the reissue it deserves, well, the time is now.

"Two classics in one package".......2005-09-02

These are Marley Marl's classic compilations "IN CONTROL", vol.1 & 2 from '88 and '91. Some of the best of the "COLD CHILLIN'" recordings are here. Two classics for the price of one! DOPE!!

LIVE AND DIRECT FROM THE HOUSE OF HITS!!!!!.......2002-05-28

Any TRUE hip-hop fan of yesteryear knows that THE HOUSE OF HITS was the name for Marley Marl's studio. The new installment from "THE BEST OF COLD CHILLIN'" series is a long time coming. Some may disagree with the rating of 5 stars, but I'm giving it the 5 star rating mostly on the strength of the first installment "IN CONTROL VOLUME 1". Even though many magazines often overlook this album, when it was released in 1988, it was considered a classic. With classic songs like "THE SYMPHONY"(the FIRST posse song and arguably the best in hip hop history), "DROPPIN' SCIENCE", and "FREEDOM", how can you go wrong? This album also contains the underground late 88-89 mix show classics "WE WRITE THE SONGS" (featuring Biz Markie and Heavy D. in what has to truly be considered one of the Hevster's BEST lyrical outings EVER as they trade verses back and forth), "DUCK ALERT", and "LIVE MOTIVATOR". The second disc is "IN CONTROL VOLUME 2:FOR YOUR STEERING PLEASURE" which Marley recently admitted that he did just to fulfill his contract obligation with Cold Chillin'. The album isn't a TOTAL dud. There are some bright moments like "THE SYMPHONY PT. 2" (which can't hold a CANDLE to the original...but is decent nonetheless), "I BE GETTIN'BUSY" (LL COOL J), and "AMERICA EATS THE YOUNG" (featuring CHUCK D. and TRAGEDY when he was the INTELLIGENT HOODLUM and before he just totally thugged out and became TRAGEDY KHADAFI). Pick this double cd up if you want to hear some classic material AND a producer that greatly influenced many hip-hop producers from PETE ROCK(who Marley tutored)to DJ PREMIER. Along with 45 KING no one producer held it down as well as MARLEY MARL....the true QUINCY JONES/GODFATHER of hip hop producers....

A classic for true Hip Hoppers.......2005-07-04

In a commerical industry, there is always one who steps out of the crowd and distinuishes themselves as a truly innovative and unique artist.

Master Ace, is truly that. This album is a classic. All songs have a message and are lyrically tight with quality production.

It is a shame that nowadays, the youth only get to hear such a small tidbit of good hip hop.

If you are looking to have a classic collection, get this album.
It is great.

Just listen for yourself and you be the judge. I know anyone yet who didnt get this album.

Thanks, ACE! You will always be remembered in my book as a classic artist.

One of the Most Heartfelt Rap Albums Ever!!!.......2004-03-17

Unfortunately, rap music this vital is all but extinct in the shallow world of hip hop today.I first heard this debut from Ace when it dropped in mid 1990.I played the cassete over and over everywhere I went. I recently picked it up on CD, and it sent me back 14 years in time when I last heard it. I can more appreciate the wide range of topics and emotions in the verses Ace spits from the heart, now that I'm older. In nearly every song, Ace creates an atmosphere through his words and the dope music that takes you to the scene of the rhyme. Being only 22 at the time of it's release, Ace has a very mature and confident demeanor throughout this record. Songs like "Brooklyn Battles", "The Other Side of Town", and the title track offer an emotional perspective of everyday life in the streets of Brooklyn. Though much of it is bleak, Ace also tends to keep a more positive outlook as well. In the title track he acts part ghetto informant and part motivational speaker, discussing the issues that face the increasingly less fortunate in America. His wisdom in this song, among others, seems stronger than any of the dribble coming out of the mouths of this nation's leaders, right or left.Back to the music, "Me and the Biz" was the biggest single off the record and had a classic video to boot. For those who don't know, the video featured Ace hanging out with a lifesize Biz Markie marrionet(puppet)! Ace is the ventriliquist for the song and video. It seemed that Ace had one upped his friend, the reigning prince clown of rap! Probabally one of my favorite rap videos of all time! Definitely one of the most original. "Music Man", also a single,sums up Ace's personality and style in the rap game in one funky-ass party jam. "Together", actually a single from late 89', takes you on Ace's journey towards success and meaning in life. He tells the listeners who are striving towards their goals in life "we'll take a drink from the fountain of success, yo let's all climb the mountain together" Wow, let's see if 50 Cent or Eminem can match that. In actuality Master Ace is probabally one of the most down to earth mc's who ever ripped a mic. I cannot say enough great things about the CD, you have to hear it for yourself. You will be wiser and more ambitious in life after hearing it. Probablly the best rap album of 1990, and in the top 20 Rap Albums of all time. Also of note is Ace's last album,"Disposable Arts", probabally the best rap record of 2001. If you are a fan of the REAL HIP HOP, and appreciate some intellageance in your lyrics, then Masta Ace is your man. If you're looking for the ho's, the blunts, and the bling blings, then you probabally got here by accident. Peace to all true hip hop lovers! I'm outta here.

Masta Ace....SIMPLY THE BEST(100 stars).......2001-03-08

Masta Ace is the most clever, intelligent rapper in the game HANDS DOWN! The fact his music over the years for the most part has gone unnoticed is a tragic episode. Not only does he lift rap to a respected art form but his clever ryhmes and teaching abilities is a asset to us all. The album SlaughterHouse is my favorite. Ace deserves more reconizing from the hip hop world as a whole. Unfortunelty greatness is never truly appreciated until the bitter end. Thanx 2 Ace real hip hop still exsists today in 2000 . Cool Carl Cee (the Italaian fUnKyChilD)representing from Dirty Jersey 100 stars if I could

Best song ever heard.......2006-04-28

I was at TAO lounge at the Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas when I heard a song that swept my feet away. I had to ask the waitress and usually they don't like sharing the name of the albums they are playing. But she was nice enough after I promised her a nice tip for the name of the song that was playing. I bought this CD literaly for song No.7. Yachts - AMCA VS CSL on the first disk. Try to listen to it by using Windows media player or Real but not Amazon own player because it messed up the song with another one. I aslo recommend greatly The Best of Claude Challe and Karunesh Call of the Mystic (Asian Indian touch)

Just chillin'.......2004-05-16

I am such a huge fan of downtempo music. It is one of my favorite sub-genres of dance music, let alone music in general. I consider myself an afficienado of downtempo. I am a big fan of the Buddha Bar/Chill Out in Paris/Siddharta series in particular. Of course there is a lot of dull, predictable, boring downtempo music (i.e the Ultra Chilled and Ultimate Chillout series). My lastest chill out acquisition is "Chillin at the Playboy Mansion". I was always intrigued by this cd. Like the Buddha Bar series there are two discs, one disc is more uptempo and the second cd is more relaxing, downtempo to be exact. I have to admit I was not really all that impressed with the first disc (the City Nights disc). I couldn't believe that someone did a cover of that horrid Nelly song "Hot in Herre". That was not good IMO. I liked the last 3 or 4 songs on the cd but otherwise, I couldn't get into it. The second cd (the After Hours disc) on the otherhand is the stand out disc for me. The songs were much more mellow and soothing to listen to. The After Hours disc is perfect for when you come home from clubbing or to throw in during a dinner party. The songs were excellent. I especially loved tracks #7-9. Those songs eally stood out for me. Although the cd isn't perfect, I still enjoyed it immensely.

One of the best CDs I have ever heard..........2004-01-07

I have very eclectic tastes in music. Ranging from World, dance, industrial, classical, pop, punk, metal, you name it, I have probably heard some of it. I looked at the cover of this particular album, "Gee, I wonder what being in the Playboy mansion's like. Maybe this Album will help me figure it out." I grabbed it, and played it when I got home. I played it on the computer, read the description... LOVED it. The first disc is the perfect album to get you into a chilling clubbing mood, with some funky tunes, jazzy beats with synthesizers, and very classy electronica.
The second dics is just what you need to hear when you want to wind down, alone or with someone else. Mid-Eastern beats, soothing voices that sing relaxing sweet-nothings...
Just because it says "Chillin at the Playboy Mansion" doesn't it mean that it will be perverted. You'll be surprised, and maybe expect Hugh Heffner to send you an invitation to his pad, just to listen to the music they'll play.

MOVE OVER DIMITRI FROM PARIS!!!.......2003-08-02

I first bought Dimitri from Paris' "A Night at the Playboy Mansion" and although he his an outstanding DJ and mixer in his own right, I really found very little interest in that CD...It was too disco-ey...DJ/Mixer extraordinaire Chris Coco has now assumed the reigns of the Playboy Mansion series and honestly he does a way better job than Dimitri does in musical selections and variety. Whereas Dimitri stuck to a certain redundant formula, Coco eases you in and out of the various styles of electronica and chill out. Disc 1 is aptly named "City Nights" and is a sure delight for you party goers and club hoppers...But for those expecting a bunch of disco beats, drum and bass or heavy techno, that, it is not...Disc one offers very subdued house beats with just the right touch of funk and jazz. Check out songs from Ralph Myers and the Jack Herrin Band, the Funky Lowlives, Chris Coco himself, Dzihan and Kamien, Nick Holder, Saville Robots, Kaori and Sepia. All perfectly mixed together just as well as DJ Stephane Pompougnac of the Hotel Costes series would do it, if not better. There's also a pleasant and impressive rendition of the infamous rap song "Hot in Herre" from some dude named Tiga. I can almost stomach it a little better than the original (and overplayed) version from Nelly. Disc two "After Hours" slows it down a few notches with a plethora of downtempo music. This is in fact my favorite of the two CDs. Afterlife's mysterious "Shine" is beautiful, as well as Chungking's haunting "Bubble Love" and Easy Access Orchestra's cinematic "The Affair." El Gran Lopfsky's funky "Mumbo Jumbo" sounds like it belongs on disc one with it's uptempo flava, but it still somehow nicely fits here. Thievery Corporation's "Facing East" could have been left off all together, but other than that, disc 2 still shines with killer tracks sure to relax you after that loong stressful night of partying. Just try not to pass out from over-indulgence, otherwise you'll never really know.

Smooth grooves and midtempo delights.......2003-07-16

I previously purchased Acoustic Chill, compiled by Chris Coco, so I knew his compilation skills would be on point (and for the most part, he didn't disappoint) and decided to purchase this cd based on this and a general hope that his mixing skills would be equally impressive. The cd set is generally soft-mixed which isn't upsetting at all since the song is mid to downtempo. The track selection is great although two noticeable duds are Tiga's "hot in herre" on cd 1 and Thievery Corporation's "facing east" on cd 2. "hot in herre" is basically a rehash of nelly's song that overstayed it's welcome on mainstream radio and not enough time has passed for the song to make a nostalgic comeback. Conversely, Cd 1 also has a great rework of "good life" which is a classic, timeless song. As for "facing east," I have Thievery Corporation's "Richest Man in Babylon" from which the song is taken and I love the song on the TC cd, but in this compilation it seems kind of lost and awkward.

But enough of that.

The CD shines brightly and makes good on its promise to both get you in the mood to go out and in the mood to turn back in. CD1 is especially good with tracks like "think twice" and the aforementioned "good life." CD2 also takes you in for a nice chilled-out ride back to earth from your evening's high by starting out with the always-pleasing "hayling." Though CD1 claims to be a buildup to going out, don't expect wildly thumping house beats; the songs are on a more sophisticated level. Not a waste of money in the slightest...
