4 out of 5 stars Great raw soul!.......2007-01-12

We've all heard enough Sly, PFunk, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that...THEY ROCK. But, it's nice to know that there were so many funky people that didn't get on the Top 40. This CD compilation has a ton of very cool stuff. It's worth owning just for the Supersouls' Loaded To The Gills(though I wish I could hear the whole thing! A few of these tracks are edited, but not in a bad way). Put it on and DANCE.

5 out of 5 stars An explosive missile to the past..........2006-06-17

Wow. I just picked this up, yesterday. This s__t is so hip! Collects many obscurites from around the country, all high energy, smokin' funk. You dig funk at all, this collection rules!

5 out of 5 stars So, so hot.......2006-04-28

A HUGE thank you to the people who rated this album. It is gold.
For non-funk-o-philes, which I am, all I can say is: imagine all of your favourite 70s shows and then amplify the theme songs by about 1000, and you'll get close to where this little beauty will take you.
I have bought a fair bit of stuff off Amazon, and this is the first CD that I really reckoned everyone else should know about.
Whoever it was that wrote that "if you want to pay a fistfull of bucks for funk" list knows what they are about. I have played this thing thrice over and it just gets better.
Do yourself a favour, buy it, whack it on your headphones and wander the city Shaft-style ... people will puzzle about your slightly odd head gyrations while you're cruising the vege aisle, but that's because they don't know better yet.
Don't ask me to describe the choons, I can't, all you need to know is that your life is lesser without them.

5 out of 5 stars If this ain't funky enough for you..........2006-02-03

If this 80 minute power house of rare and raw late 60s early 70s funk doesn't do something for you, something is wrong... It is the type of stuff that some funk searching DJs wet their pants for and do nothing but dream of... that one rare obscure ultra funky find that NO ONE ELSE has. Well, now this label has reissued it... can't say how long it will remain in print, but I can tell you this, unless you happen to be an expert of expert collector on EXTREMELY rare funk, odds are this collection is going to be a gem that will remind you that no, you haven't heard it all... and maybe more juice like this is hiding in yet other vaults waiting to surface!!!

Begining in the nasty James Brown "Mother Popcorn" era, the groups also reflect the influences of other funky soul powerhouses from the era including Archie Bell and The Drells, Dyke and the Blazers - - and of course the JBs themselves and the emerging Memphis sound. "Down Home" Funky drumming, driving bass, biting bluesy syncopated rhythm guitar and yes, quite a few Hammond organs epitomize the sound. Tunes range from horn driven instrumentals to hard core soul shouting.

Surprises include a funky James Brown Apollo melody as well as super funky version of War's SLIPPING INTO DARKNESS that actually outfunks the original ! My favorite includes the Lyn Collins sounding ultra bumpin' masterpiece DON'T GO, by the Aristocrats long before they were a really dirty joke...There's also a bit of ultra funky psychadelic soul in the form of the Ebony Rhythm Band and The Soul Seven. Finally its topped off with a real cool wa wa driven/early Kool and the Gang sounding STREET SCENE and a nice slick sounding version of SCORPIO.

All in all this is some ultra rare groove juice from the vaults that you definitely don't want to let pass you by !

5 out of 5 stars Essential Listening for Every Music Fan!!!.......2006-01-09

A treasure! A jem! The title says it all! Heavy funk rarities is an absolute must have purchase and listen to any one who: likes to party, is a musician, music historian or anyone who is just a plain old music fan. Really cool beats and melodies that you could dance, sing and hum to all day long!

4 out of 5 stars Where it all begins.......2007-04-17

I bought this album when it originally came out in late 1998. Even though it's a good compilation for the most part some of the songs were already over a year old when this album was released. This would be corrected however in later volumes. Some of these artists aren't around anymore and some still are but this is definitely a good sample what was playing on the airwaves back then. By the way, notice how this album is totally devoid of hip hop music.

4 out of 5 stars a great replacement.......2007-03-14

i got this cd, because i misplaced the one i had previously. i love it!!

5 out of 5 stars Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 1.......2006-12-15

I started collecting Now CD's a while back, probably in 1998 or 1999. The reason I started collecting these CD's is because the Now That's What I Call Music series can open doors to new singers you've probably never heard of before. I enjoy listening to new songs and discovering new singers/singing groups, so I figured "well, why not? Maybe I'll start collecting these and see where it goes from there." That's how it all began for me. I still listen to these CD's today. The last Now CD I got was Now That's What I Call Music Volume 17, which has Bowling For Soup's "1985" on it. I used to go in order when it comes to collecting these, but now I only get certain ones for certain songs. Now 17 is an example. So, in conclusion, I highly recommend this CD to anyone who wants to hear new music.

4 out of 5 stars Vol. 1.......2006-07-17

This was the start of an onslaught of yearly 'greatest hits' albums, comp. of every track that's already been overplayed enough on the radio just for the consumer to overplay it even more on their stereo. This is the culprit for starting the revolution. Anyways...the idea wasn't a terrible one. Take the ost popular songs of the 'Top 40' year and throw them on one album, giving the average consumer a chance to score their favorite songs without spending a fortune. There are a few misteps every year, so heres the breakdown of Vol. 1.

When this was released I was a pophead. I was young and loved this kind of music. I listen to much more music now, still listening to Top 40 on occasion because it's mindless and nice to just vibe to with no agenda. Talentwise, pop stars are at the bottom of the food chain mostly because they can't play and or write their own music, but they do serve some sort of entertainment factor as long as you don't have to watch them try to dance.

Janet starts us off with 'Together Again' and she does alright. 'As Long as you Love Me' was one of my favorite Backstreet songs. As I said, I was a huge pophead at the time and loved the Backstreet Boys. Personally, don't much care for them anymore...Nick is too whiney to even be considered a good vocalist, while at least Justin Timberlake (of the much better N'Sync) can sing and dance and thus delivers a well-rounded solo album.

Sorry about that...

Fastball, Harvey Danger, Tonic, Radiohead, Everclear, Lenny Kravitz, Marcy's Playground and Hanson (dear god) deliver our pop/rock tracks and I will admitt that I loved, and still love 'Flagpole Sitta' as well as anything Everclear. Marcy's Playground was probbaly the biggest one hit wonder ever, and 'Sex and Candy' was worth the wonder. Good song, not perfect, a little overrated but overall still memerable.

KC&JoJo, All Saints and even The Spice Girls pull off good tracks. The point of this album is not to be the best music of the year but the most popular and, probably, the funest songs of any given year. These are the songs that will make you bop your head and tap your feet...even if you hate to admitt it.

Probably my favorite track here (and total proof of what I just said) is Barbie Girl by Aqua...I loved that song when it came out because it was a perfect satire and just cracked me up...and I was 12...so now it's even funnier! Great parody. The album is not at the top of my replay list, but it helps me remember younger days, when I was a kid and I remember them with a smile of my face! Not great music but decent and it serves it's purpose. I may not be a pophead anymore, but I can appreciate a good trip down memory lane every once in a while!

2 out of 5 stars Now that's what I call commercial garbage!.......2005-07-04

Maybe half of these songs are still remembered today. Another half of that half is garbage songs. How many people can honestly say they can still enjoy listening to this today? "NOW" compelations are the perfect example of how whats popular today may not be popular tommorow. Hell some of these songs weren't even good back when this was released. My advice, stear clear of this, future NOW compilations, and any other commercial mix cd's.

    As with their first collection of label highlights, Hyperion's new two-disc collection provides a broad sampling of their exceptional catalogue and performers. Particularly rewarding are the selections from Beethoven (Scherzo from String Trio in C minor, op 9 no 3, performed by the Leopold Trio) and Thomas Tallis (Salvator mundi I, performed by the Winchester Cathedral Choir), but experienced and novice listeners alike will find much to enjoy on these discs. It's also a good value--more than 2 1/2 hours of music for less than $10.

    Album Description

    Between 1969 and 1973, guitarist Grant Green made a string of albums that not only topped the jazz charts but also hit the Soul and R & B charts. The music he recorded found a new life a decade later when he became one of the most sampled artists in Hip Hop. The grooves he created, most often with Idris Muhammad on drums, have permeated the club scene around the world. And the band he led and the music he played served as a prototype for what is now known as the jam band scene.

    These three compilations gather the best and most influential performances of those album. "Ain't That Funky" contains Green's instrumental treatments of hits by James Brown, The Meters, The Isley Brothers and Kool & The Gang among others. "For The Funk Of It" collects the most popular funk originals by Grant and his band. "Mellow Madness" draws groove-based performances on tunes by Herbie Hancock, Donald Byrd and Lennon & McCartney among others.

    Together, these collections sum up a great artist at the peak of his popularity with the essential tracks that remain a strong part of the musical landscape to this day.

    5 out of 5 stars It is 'Funky'.......2006-04-04

    Back in the day when music was considered upbeat, it was said to be `Funky' (a slick heavy beat that is both contemporary and irresistible). That is how the JazzeOne describes this compilation of Grant Green tunes. Original Jam Master, volume one brings back memories of the previous releases: `Grant Green Alive', `Green is Beautiful', `Visions', `Shades of Green', `Carryin On' and 'Live at the Lighthouse'. Many evenings all one could do was put on one of these albums, sit back and 'Let the Music take Your Mind'. You will see why after listening to this project. Starting with James Brown's `Ain't it Funky Now' and medley of `I don't want nobody to give me nothing (Open Up the Door I'll Get it Myself)/Cold Sweat', the mood is funk fantastic. Grant gets real funky with the Isley Brothers `Its Your Thing' and the Meters `Ease Back'. Lastly on his rendition of the Stylistics `Betcha by Golly Wow', the band eases off the funk with a smooth groove. This is a historically cool, smooth and funk Jazz collaboration (1969-1972) wrapped up into one memorable Grant Green compilation. Whether you are experiencing this great Jazz guitarist for the first time or you are a long time Green-O-Phile, you will be stomping your feet and nodding your head to this CD, it is 'Funky'! ~the JazzeOne

    5 out of 5 stars Simply the best........2005-10-11

    The second track off this compilation, Ease Back, is in my opinion one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. This is a terrific sampling of the great-godfather of music. For a mellower mood, check out Green's album "I want to hold your hand," which has some of the best jazz organ around. Beautiful album.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent performer.......2007-03-09

    This plates are wonderful. I was charmed, and when I close my eyes now, I see scenes with American in Paris or Porgy and Bess but my favorite piece of music is Rhapsody in Blue. It's more than excellent is fantastic. Jack Gibbons perfectly feels the unique tone Gershwin's music, the mixture rythms of jazz with influences of impressionists and clear and beauty melodies.
    I'm fascinating.

    5 out of 5 stars A unique project.......2006-11-23

    Gibbons' undertaking is unique: to reconstruct and then execute and record the note-for-note playing of Gershwin as documented on the composers' piano rolls, sound recordings and certain published arrangements. I agree with the reviewer who points out that the result is like a library and not a recital you sit back and listen to (or get up and dance to). In fact Gibbons does some editing of his "library" now and then, and clearly documents it in his liner notes: in some reconstructions he augments accompaniment effects and even the melodic line itself. I don't mind that at all, especially as Gibbons scrupulously accounts for such tampering in his liner notes; but it seems to me that it is in this area of "tampering" that Gibbons the artist is asserting himself...which of course undermines the "library", the "historical archive": you have to search and read a bit to find out when you're hearing only Gershwin and when you're hearing some added Gibbons. I don't mind; Gibbons is a remarkable artist in his own right, not merely an impeccable documentarian. For sheer generosity of production Gibbons' Gershwin must also be unique: 4 cd's, scholar-level liner notes (yes, you need a magnifying glass to read them), and rock-bottom bargain price.

    5 out of 5 stars Gershwin historical, manic, perfect, archival.......2006-06-12

    First: this is 4 high-end produced cd's (in low-end jewel cases) for the price of 2. The liner notes of all 4 cd's are condensed in a booklet of microscopic print, so you may need to spend the savings on a magnifying glass. MONEY WELL SPENT.
    Second: Jack Gibbons plays (and has recorded) the Alkan op 39 etudes (he probably plays a lot more Alkan than that). For those of you not in the know, this is to say he has world-class chops, indeed history-class (Liszt, who never played his friend Alkan, at least in public). But it's also to say that Gibbons knows how to interpret and personalize fantastically difficult piano music. For me, his Alkan op 39 is personal and passionate and real (contrast the facile and over-pedalled Hamelin and the just-the-notes-ma'me Ringeissen). An appreciation of Gibbons' Alkan is important here because while his Alkan is uniquely personal (as such music must be, no matter how hard it is to play) his Gershwin is deliberately impersonal...which is to say: no pianist, no singer would want to reproduce what Gibbons has given us in these 4 cd's, and in fact few listeners will be able to listen for long to these 4 cd's without a respite, a break , some silence, some minimal styling from somebody (anybody) else...which brings me to
    Third: This is an archive, not a recital. This is a library, not a program. There is no track-by-track contrast of moods here, no track-by-track concession to easy listening, varied delight, any more than a library shelf of novels is alphabetized by authors' last names as a concession to mood or fancy or taste of the searching patron. This is the documented Gershwin in his recording mode: manic, notey, clever, "on", and never, as generations of stylists found in him, ravishing, tender, longing, sweet, glad, hopeful...person-to-person, in a word. I can listen to these cd's about half an hour at a time, max. This is Gerwhsin, not Gibbons. And this is just one side of Gershwin. He died at 38, in the summer. Brain tumor. A lot of pain.
    Finally, Jack Gibbons has given the world a uniquely valuable and easily available resource. Gibbons could now do us a service by playing us some Gershwin as he feels it, as it hits him and makes him sing (as Gershwin, our American Schubert, does to all of us, and as I think Alkan has done to Gibbons). I would love to see a Gershwin stylings by Gibbons now that Gibbons himself has made sure Gershwin in his authenticity is safe and sound.

    5 out of 5 stars Definative.......2005-07-23

    Here's the whole Gershwin catalog at a great price... Five plus hours of bliss. Definately five stars!

    Gibbons, according to a family friend and biographer Edward jablonski "recreates Gershwin's style." I'll never know. I can say this is a lively recording and has the perfect balance. It's neither stuffy and plodding or cute.

    Great album from start to finish. i always loved frosts music but I also always felt the he looked and sounded like a fat ICE-T not that that's a bad thing just what i think of frost but hes dope

    Oh and lil kraze put a review old g its O.G. and it means original gangster not old gangster haha

    1 out of 5 stars Frostbit.......2005-08-01

    Frost or Kid Frost is one of the biggest Latino rappers / emcee hailing from East Los Angeles, California and this release That Was Then, This Is Now Vol. 1 was a major disappointment. The problem is originality. There are too many hooks and lyrics being stolen and that's bad. On to the brighter side, there are a few gems here but not enough to save this lp. "Outlaws" featuring Kurupt & King T is a good song of West Coast gangster love. Bay area's B-Legit & Richie Rich helped out on the banging "Heart Of A Savage". The actual icing for Frost was the orchestrated "Big Business" featuring Xzibit & Jayo Felony. Those alone are worth checking out this release.

    5 out of 5 stars Still Dope After All This Years.......2000-06-30

    After more than 10 years, Frost still is the godfather of latin rap. In That Was Then, This Is Now, he is featuring names like Mad One, Nino Brown and Xbiztz, and make some "outros clássicos" of chicano hip-hop. "Latin Kingz", "Mamacita" and "Los Katrachos" are hits in the party El Chicano that I do in Brazil. Obrigado, Frost!

    5 out of 5 stars Album of the Year.......2000-04-22

    This is truly the album of the year! Frost has really outdone himself in this latest project. From beggining to end this album will easy make up for the 15 bucks payed for it. First Frost put together some of the best producers in the game, then he wrote some of the most thoughtful lyrics written in a while and finally brought together some of the most famous and respected rappers from both the black and brown world. A must for anybody who can reaaly appreciate true art and to anybody else that just wants to play one of the best albums of the year.

    5 out of 5 stars That was then, This is now.......2000-03-17

    Frost the true old G from East L.A the godfather of the real G's. Frost putting it down and also representing the West Coast Gambinos and Also us MEXICANS! I can't wait to VOL.2 comes out I'll be the first to get it. Frost got some other real old G's representing in this CD like South Park Mexican. So don't waste your money on some FAKE ganster rappers out there buy this Alubum today.
