DJ Nasir takes you through a funky musical journey with an ultra-rare UFO remix of the classic Jackson Five's "Hum Along and Dance", Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" and MJ Cole two step rendition of De La Soul and Chaka Khan's "All Good". The CD also contains an exclusive remix of Mystic's "The Life" produced by DJ Nasir himself. Deelite's Lady Miss Kier also contributes to the cause with an exclusive track which is aptly titled "I'm Not Staying At Home".

Customer Reviews:

this is still an awesome album.......2006-02-24

I have been listening to this album since it was first released (2002?)- it's on my ipod favorite list. Great for dinner party background music or for a little cocktail party - still great after all this time...everyone asks what is this? Sort of like the Hotel Costes series.

Standard Issue.......2003-04-04

What a mix, not the actual act, but the varied musical styles. Its starts from Jackson Five and does not stop till you get enough. I do not care if this not mixed or any other dj tricks are played with it, i actually prefer my compilations like that, so you can play it at parties. This is a great benchmark compilation cd, as it shows how compilation should be, mixed with varied styles, old and the new and Funky as all hell.

More compiling than mixing.......2002-11-11

Nasir is a talented selecta, but I give this 3 stars because the mixing is almost nonexistent. Nearly every track drops into the next without any blending, so it sounds more like good radio than good DJing. I don't think the tracks were arranged in a particularly brilliant order either, so the general effect is sort of the musical equivalent of name-dropping.

I would recommend this if you want to rip some of the specific tracks. Because there's almost no mixing, most tracks remain discrete from one another. That said, there are some really good cuts. Just don't expect to throw this on at a party and expect to create any kind of lasting flow.

2 words... lady kier.......2002-05-16

the only reason for me buying this cd was to hear the new single by lady kier ((the deee-liteful diva)) - if you're a deee-lite freak, you'll love this song! it's worth buying the entire cd. ;)

Album Description

Contemporary folk/pop singer-songwriters and CLAWD Records recording artists THE WINSTONS follow up their first release (1995's Second Chance) with VIGNETTES, released July 10, 1998.

Originally from Buffalo, New York, ANDY and CHERYL WINSTON met and began playing music together in the 1980's while attending college in nearby Fredonia, New York. They later married and relocated to Boulder, Colorado. After languishing in unsatisfying careers, THE WINSTONS recommited themselves to music, leading to the release in 1995 of their first CD, Second Chance, produced by Lance Bendiksen, which received warm reviews.

Wanting to challenge themselves both as musicians and as interpreters of their own work, THE WINSTONS decided to try their hands at producing their next project.

Lyrically, the ten self-produced cuts on VIGNETTES offer glimpses of life's grist: release ("Anything At All"), following one's bliss ("Finding My Way"), fearing love ("Heart of Stone"), wanderlust ("Caroline & Ray"), renewal ("Iris Alley") and resignation ("Vignettes").

Musically, VIGNETTES covers a range of styles, which ANDY and CHERYL attribute to their families' varied record collections and a healthy dose of attention deficit disorder. Americana, pop, country and bluegrass coexist peacefully on VIGNETTES.

Returning to back THE WINSTONS on VIGNETTES are veterans of the Second Chance sessions: drummer/percussionist Christian Teele and bassists Eric Thorin and Ron Bland.

Eh.......2001-04-14

Once again, Aceyalone has put out another album as hastily as he possibly can. Accepted Eclectic was released less than a month ago, and Declaration of an Independent was realeased along with Haiku D'etat not long before these. Aceyalone, with tremendous talent, has put out great records before, and even when he flings out album after album as fast as he can, they are still decent. But it is not hard to hear the lack of time put into this album. Aceyalone should start applying his talent better, like he used to.

Beauty.......2004-11-20

This album is one of my favourite "new" finds of the year. I play it again and again and never get sick of any of the songs. It's beautiful, unique and I really can't say anything but good things about this. The music is one moment dreamy and soft and the next rocking and loud. It's perfect for any situation; alone in my room and played loud at a party. The singer's voice is rich and varied and the music is the perfect compliment to her vocals. It creates another world. I can't wait to discover more of their music.

Album Description

"An imaginatiive exploration of affecting acoustic guitars, head-expanding lyricism blending with hi-tech bravado, and a liberal dose of some of the brightest vocal harmonies your ears will ever absorb. There is JOY in nearly every groove. A fine testament to a band in which to clearly believe."-Music Monthly; "OHO's music maneuvers, folds, and turns on itself exactly where is should...fascinating!"-Music Connection; "Imagine a modern Gentle Giant fused with Fleetwood Mac."-Progression; "A romantic, lushly harmonic collection having a wary, acid-folk edginess and unpredictable lyrics."-Washington Post; "Generating an irresistible urge to dance and sing, this CD is a tight mesh of modern, melodic, crisp grooves with vocals that are clear, strong and seamless, amazing guitar work, and songs that are contagious."-University Reporter; "Melodic and thoughtful power pop on this Maryland quintet's debut."-CD Review (Editors' choice favorite selection); "OHO have the me! asurable parameters of success with stellar, unwavering vocals, crystalline production, muscular rhythms and Jay Graboski's assiduous imagination."-Rhythm; "OHO sneaks around the conventions that have mummified so many others. For OHO the time is NOW!"-J.D. Considine
