One Million Miles from the Ground. That track was the main reason for this purchase. Once upon a time,urban/college radio stations played this track with the idea that their audience could and would appreciate GOOD music. But alas, the times have taken us to the musical point of artist mediocracy offering us; Non-identifiable voices over re-hashed tunes from the not too distant past.
This gathering of songs by Dexter and the gang was refreshing when releasted and can hold it's own to this day.

I had Purchased a two cd set containing all 4 of Dexter Wansel's
albums. I did not care for "Voyager" and totally hated "Time is Slipping Away". When I saw this cd offered, I jumped. Now I have the very best including 1991's "Universe."

5 out of 5 stars Interplanetary Philly Soul Beauties.......2000-10-11

I was working at Odyssey Records in Berkeley in spring 1977 when my friend and co-worker, Tina, put a new disc on the house sound system. The mellow synthesized sounds and relentess backbeat mesmerized us, and Dexter Wansel's "What the World Is Coming To" became a personal favorite to each of us, especially the ethereal title song and hopeful "Dreams of Tomorrow" with Jean Carn. We were also captivated by the eclecticism Wansel demonstrated on this LP, from total mood pieces ("First Light in the Morning") to disco ("Dance With Me" and "Disco Lights" both found homes in clubs from the Ice Palace in NYC to The City in San Francisco) to reggae ("Going Back to Kingston Town"). Sometime later, stocking the shelves, we discovered Dexter Wansel had a previous LP, "Life on Mars," which we immediately slapped on the Odyssey turntable and promptly went into heavy in-store rotation. This recording was cohesive thematically and musically, exploring outer space through jazz-fusion in dreamy cuts like "One Million Miles from the Ground," "Themes from the Planets" and "Rings of Saturn." This would have made an excellent addition to the "Mission to Mars" soundtrack. Dexter Wansel went on to produce and write for The Jones Girls, Lou Rawls, Dee Dee Sharp Gamble and most of the Philadelphia International stable and released two more LPs; Tina and I went to work at the phone company for awhile and left Odyssey Records behind. Dexter Wansel retained a special place in our musical hearts and to my delight, Westside has now issued both Wansel LPs on one CD. Now that I can listen to Dexter anytime I feel like it, I've got to wonder" "Where's Tina at?
