Very refreshing, ethereal/ambient Micro-House music. BUY IT........2005-02-24

Ezekiel Honig's first album "Technology Is Lonely" pulled me in to his Micro-house, but this album "People, Places, & Things" invited me to stay as a welcomed guest. This album is a beautiful microcosmic world, and when explored one realizes it is quite vast. You can listen to it when you wake early in the morning, during the grind at work, while entertaining friends, and when you're ready to sleep.

This album has been on heavy rotation since I bought it, especially the tracks: "Your Face Betrays Your Thoughts," "More Human Than Human," "Cape Cod Getaway," et al....

great chill out music but lacking in dynamic.......2005-08-22

This is an interesting recording which uses traditional jazz instruments that have been 'electrified' to produce some fantastic drum and bass. However the music lacks in emotion and dynamic as well as group cohesion. The tunes are a little repetitive. However it is still an interesting and from a minimalist perspective successful experiment.

Supa Dope, But Not The Dopest.......2005-08-20

it would be nearly impossible to top slide five's first release, rhode trip, and while people, places & things is a great release, it just doesn't have the same magic. since rhode trip, slide five updated their once retro urban jazz sound to a more futuristic stew. unfortunately, what got lost in the transformation was the soul groove. people, places & things is still funky, but there's a warmth that is missing. regardless, people, places & things is a nice mix of electronic music rooted in space jazz. it utilizes typical jazz instruments like acoustic bass, real drums, electric guitar and saxophone. the sounds from these instruments are tweaked, distorted, looped, echoed, amplified and enveloped to give the songs an electronic d&b feel. the cd includes the previously unreleased ep flash.

Yo, You Gotta Get This One.......2004-09-27

I bought this CD in 1999 and I still listen to this joint. It is TIMELESS!!! If you dig music, then you HAVE to add this one to your collection...it's a must!!!

why has this been missed ?.......2004-02-13

Seems to me that this disc has been missed by almost everybody. Hardly any fillers. Many of these tracks could easily be put on a "chill" compilation which seem to be all the rage at the moment. Lots of the tracks here are at least as good if not better than many I've heard on the more hyped collections.
Almost all instruments played by humans, good grooves, an undiscovered gem.
Hope these guys haven't given up and can find some more material for mature tastes.

I have not yet heard the entire CD but do like what i've heard so far. It's a bit more modern sounding than their "Rhode Trip" (may he rest in peace) CD, but yet, at the same time seems to be heavily influenced by "SpaceJazz" or "AcidJazz" (don't really care for labels but it might be helpful to some) pioneer Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes. This area is somewhat new to me since i have been more traditionally "Fusion" oriented and hadn't cared too much for the little Acid Jazz that i had heard. But if this is where Acid Jazz is at or is going, i am definitely going to be paying attention! Another contemporary group you might want to check out (although they are not really Acid but just a very soulful and R&B influenced Jazz band) is The Brad Upton Quintet. Especially their Black Orchid CD.
