4 out of 5 stars SySTeM SySTeM.......2007-05-19

I found the CD good, although have heard better ones!
I recommend for funk collectors like me.

1 out of 5 stars There's only 1 good song on it........2006-08-17

Do you remember the soundtracks to movies back in the mid 80s and the corny crappy music would be playing in the back ground. I mean no wonder they didn't sell soundtracks back then like they do today. Well 99% of both these albums sound just like that. Then you come across, "This is For You" and you actually come across a hit. It's like being a coal miner digging through all that coal and you come across a diamond or you're a bum digging through trash for something to eat and you find $100 in the trash. It's like that. You take "This is for you" off the album and basically you have a coaster for your coffee table. "This is for you" sounds like it was suppose to be on their first album but the record company said , "Hey, let's not put all the jams on one album. Let's save this one for later." If you really, really, really, really like "This is for you" then it's a good buy. But if you're just fond of it, hope and pray you come across a copy of this album in one of those Sell N Buy CD stores for $1, otherwise it's not a good buy.

4 out of 5 stars The Pleasure Seekers : legendary 80's stuff.......2005-11-22

1985's The Pleasure Seekers is not a perfect album, but like 87's "Groove", it's sounds were far ahead of it's time. "Seekers" managed to hold up as a strong predacessor to "Groove". While The System primarily succeeded on singles, the entire albums stood strong on their own. The music is emotional, timeless, and equals in significance to Depeche Mode's material.

The exotic title track was used in an episode in Miami Vice. The increasingly polished production was clearly a big jump from Xperiment (released only a year before).
Hits include This Is For You, I Don't Run From Danger, It Takes 2. My personal favorites are Did In By A Friend and My Radio Rocks.

5 out of 5 stars Finally but where is Sweat and It's Passion .......2005-04-18

5 out of 5 stars FINALLY!!!.......2005-02-21

FINALLY!!! I have been a devoted fan of The System since I first saw the music video for "The Pleasure Seekers" single back in the summer of 1985. Their sound is a notable one amongst the Pop/R&B stylings that came out of the 1980's. Mic Murphy's smooth, sultry vocals met with the techno-melodic keyboard and drum programing wizardy of David Frank truly made for one incredible collaboration after another. I currently own all of their albums on cassette tape (including the single "Coming to America" off of the film soundtrack) and several on CD including Mic Murphy's early nineties solo effort "Touch." I picked up a Japanese import of "The Pleasure Seekers" album on CD a few years back and have awaited reissues of their debut album "Sweat" and their sophmore effort "X-periment" to complete my CD collection of their work. Well, now it is one down and one to go with the release of this double album. I wasn't fully aware of the group at the time "X-periment" was released. I recall hearing their debut album breakthrough single "You Are in My System" when it received radio play after its release in the early 1980's. yet and still, I never really connected with an identity of the group until "The Pleasure Seekers" album was released. Once I did become a fan, I was able to back track and pick up their first two albums on cassette.

"X-periment" has always been a beloved album ofg mine. From the upbeat dance track "I Wanna Make You Feel Good," to the romantic and hypnotic "Lollipops and Everything," to the smooth and melodic "Promises Can Break," to the techno-funky "X-Periment," to the hard-driving, rocking "Bad Girl," to the again melodic yet funky "I Can't Take Losing You"...WHEW! Needless to say, I'm excited and grateful to see this album getting a CD release. Now reissue the techno-funk classic "Sweat" and then GET WITH IT ATLANTIC RECORDS and release a DEFINITIVE collection of The System's greatest hits. Come on, the fan base exists to warrant this effort. Email me and I'll gladly write thorough liner notes for it. I'm not an "accredited" music journalist but I would gladly write a fitting tribute to a musical duo that resonated the perfect blend of technology, soul, pop, rock and funk into a sound that was never matched by any other artist/group.

In closing, I can recall the one and only time I ever saw The System perform live and in person. It was a balmy summer night back in 1987. They were the opening act for Cameo at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD. They were at the peak of the popularity with the recent release of their album and hit single, "Don't Disturb This Groove." Man, they were fantastic. Mic and David shared the stage with three other musicians (one being Paul Pesco, a frequent collaborator of theirs and long-time guitarist for other musicians such as Madonna). Their sound was incredible and Mic's musings and David's prodigious keyboard performances sounded even better than they did on their albums. My only regret is that when they came out on the fringes of the audience to watch Cameo's performance that followed, I didn't go up to them and say, "Thank You." That's all I wanted to say and so I'll say it now. Thank you Mic and David for all of your memorable work together.
