Not Bored By The Chairmen.......2007-03-06

I first heard Chairmen of the Board on the Invictus Soul Box Set. Why weren't these guys famous? This is incredible Motown soul. Acid, fuzzClav. Hypertight, bassdrum heavy rhythm. Wah-wah guitar. Soulful harmonies reminicent of the Tops or Temps. Above all: great songwriting (some courtesy of Motown's legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland hitmakers).

If you like funk, if you like soul, if you like Motown, you gotta get this excellent set.

Hypnotic Music Forever!.......2005-10-13

This is it! The best collection of the Chairmen of the Board. Out of print for many years and here it comes again. This record is for people who really like soul music and it contains many of their greatest performances. "I'm On My Way To A Better Place" and "Hypnotic Music" alone are worth the price of this collection but there is a ton of other hip stuff here. Excellent re-mastering too. Castle Music has done a wonderful job of making fine, old music available. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, 10 stars!

Soul music for the "next" generation, into the 1970's..........2005-07-01

Some stats: Disc time= 236:36 minutes

CD#1 (79:59)...@ 1970-1972
CD#2 (76:36)...@ 1972
CD#3 (79:58)...@ 1972, 1974, 1976

Chairmen of the Board are a strange marriage of a manufactured group, domineering producers, and artistic freedom.
The core membership consists of General Norman Johnson, Danny Woods, and Harrison Kennedy.

This set is a great overview of their formative years (70,71), their so-called creative peak,ie radio airplay success (1972), and following solo endeavers (1972-76).
In addition to their output as COTB, the solo work sampled is from 3 albums; 'Generally Speaking'-General Johnson, 'Aires'-Danny Woods, and 'Hypnotic'-Harrison Kennedy.

Their is another 2cd compiliation of prevoiusly unreleased, solo work out there called 'All Other Busisness'...of which 23 of its 32 tracks are included here (in different sequencing).

Suffice it to say that COTB cover the gamut of music that dominated the AM airwaves at the turn of the decade, including Funk, R&B, "Beach music", crossover soul, the "Motown sound", and soul/pop.
Several performers that stand out as influences for me here are The Four Tops (vocal harmonies), Marvin Gaye (socio-political musings), Sly and the Family Stone (da funk!). As jazz can permeate Earth Wind & Fire's music, COTB is grounded in "Soul".

This is great music(remastered) and you get a LARGE portion on 3 jam-packed discs. Taking into account the past musical era (60's), COTB put everything in the skillet...seasoned it with political and social wit, romance, funk grooves, and the overall emphasis on having a good time. Whatever was errant in the music of the 1960s, COTB manages to reconcile the "heavy" messages so imprinted then with a more inclusive vibe...for Everyday People, Everywhere.
