A Mature Sam Cooke.......2007-07-26

I can categorically say this album was the cream of Sam Cooke. The reason for saying this, is to counteract the previous comment made by A. Sturley. Sam did not change his voice for this concert. Sam was getting more mature. His voice was breaking. Which I preferred. Had he lived longer, he would'nt be too far of Bobby Womack or a more polished soul singer. Also him moving with the times, who knows how he would really sound like had he lived longer. A. Sturley, if you do not believe me,buy and listen to the album (Keep Moving On).Both albums will always make music listeners take notes. The One Night Stand: Live at the Harlem Square Club was Sam Cooke delivering at his very best!

An Unforgettable Live Album.......2007-04-17

This album is a priceless gem that you will treasure forever! Sam Cooke metaphorically rolls up his sleeves and really works up a sweat in this amazing live concert at the Harlem Square Club, giving an earthy, gritty performance that is spellbinding. Sam's delivery crackles with raw energy! He belts out the songs with an emotional intensity and sense of urgency that whips his audience into euphoric frenzy.

Some favourite, well-loved songs (such as "Cupid," "Chain Gang," "Bring it on Home to Me," etc.) have been thumpingly and effectively re-worked to give them an edginess which causes the temperature to soar in that highly charged, festive atmosphere.

You can feel the electricity in the air! Sam teases and cajoles an attentive and adoring audience who eagerly comply with the call to party. The tempo intensifies and reaches a crescendo at the end of a totally exhilarating and riveting musical experience!

One of the greatest live performances.......2007-01-12

Sam Cooke delivers an unbelievable performance in this one. When I first got it, it was difficult for me to appreciate this live album. But as time passed by, the more it grew on me. And now, it's truly one of my favorite albums. Any soul music fan has to have this one.

The way Sam Cooke works the crowd is a thing of beauty. Those people that attended this performance are some lucky folks. He gives it his all and the crowd appreciates it. My personal favorite was "Chain Gang" because of the way he works the crowd at the end and because his voice is just electrifying with his "oh yeah" screams. Sam Cooke may not be my favorite artist but I believe he's the greatest artist of all-time. This record is one of the many testaments of that.

ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER!.......2006-11-21

This is soul at its very best! No matter how many times I listen to this album, I NEVER get tired of it. Sam Cooke went on to inspire thousands of musicians and, after hearing this album, you'll know why. Since the new movie "Ali," starring Will Smith, has been released on DVD and VHS, a lot of people wonder about the beginning where the actor portraying Sam Cooke is performing. Well, this recording is exactly where they got the idea for the beginning of the film.
Of course, my favorite is "Bring It On Home To Me." Sam delivers his music with all the fervor of a gospel sermon and beat of a pop/doo wop song. Then, there are also the usual hits, from "Cupid" to "Twistin' The Night Away."
If you're looking for a soul album to start a collection, this IS the ONE!!! It'll keep you moving!!! The sound is no longer mono, making it all the more enjoyable. The fact that Sam could get the place jumpin' is exactly why he was such a great entertainer. You can feel the high energy and the fun of that evening back in 1963 oozing out of the stereo every time you listen to this album. James Brown may be the Godfather of soul, but Sam Cooke is the father!!!

should get more than 5 stars!.......2006-08-19

This is the live album to outdo all other live albums. I am a head banging, rock and roller, guitar nut and this is still the best live album ever!

The main reason that it is great is b/c Sam Cooke works the audience. The cd builds up steam as the songs go by. This is a snowball rolling down a hill that gets bigger and bigger.

He talks to the audience, works the ladies, entices the men, pumps up his band, etc. The songs are almost a "best of" situation. Chain gang, having a party, twisting are all awesome!

You know how great the cd is? The recording has serious limitations. There are no highs and no lows. Horns, guitar, bass, drums are all mixed way towards the back but Cooke's singing and talking are way towards the front. It does not matter and should not influence anyone's listening pleasure.

A great comparison is to Otis Redding live at the Whiskey a Go Go. That is a good concert, fantastic sound recording and the band seriously rocks. This blows that away.

This is not only the best concert cd but also, it is obvious how other entertainers and djs modeled themselves afer Sam Cooke's style.

What a shame that this tremendous performer died in his prime.

Whoever reads this take note...I am no soul music fanatic. I am a Lez Zep. Who, Nirvana, guitarnut type of guy. THAT is how powerful that this work is b/c it most definetly rocks more than "live at leeds", "get your ya yas out", "Song remains the same", etc.

Amazon.com

Boy crazy, girl crazy, or somewhere in between, the Pittsburgh inhabitants of Showtime's eyebrow-raising Queer as Folk series all meet on middle ground: the dance floor. This relentlessly upbeat soundtrack of flavor-of-the-month dance-club anthems and campy synth-pop is confectionary fun that never loses its wits. Katty B.'s remake of the Footloose classic "Let's Hear It for the Boy" is a hoot, as is a cover of Divine's 1984 single "You Think You're a Man," which devolves into a naughty call-and-response of "boy" and "toy" that would make Madonna's early years seem tame. The good mood continues with Alcazar's frenzied "Crying at the Discotheque," which contains the intriguing couplet "The golden ties, the silver years / You wore a tie like Richard Gere." Add Kristine W.'s undeniable dance hit "Lovin' You," the Cher-like Heather Smalls's "Proud," and Mint Royale's Abba-kissed "Shake Me," and a taste of nostalgia kicks in. That said, the album knows when to quit; thankfully, there are no clichéd Gloria Gaynor or Donna Summer remixes to be found, just a batch of friendly, sexy tracks that perfectly complement the show's revved-up characters. --Kristy Martin

Customer Reviews:

THIS SHOW IS A "MUST" SEE.......2006-11-05

With every episode, you just dont want to stop, high drama and sometimes a little shy with the charactors making love or intimate encounters, casual or extreme. But reality sometimes is hard to watch, depending on your shyness. This show makes you laugh and cry to extremes. I felt like when I was watching the last season, I was losing a family I will never see again. I miss this show very much. There has never been a show with such love for the actors and the way they brought past experiences remembered in my own life. I miss you, everyone who made this show possible.
p.s. the music is this show, I own all the soundtracks also...awesome

Listen to the Queer Beat.......2005-09-11

The First Season Soundtrack of Queer As Folk....

...starts of with the catchy "Spunk" by Greek Buck (it also ends with this song which sort of strikes me as a pointless waste of space). Anyways it goes on to feature such great songs as "Proud" by Heather Small which is really one of my favorite songs on the compilation. As other mention frequently, it really is a gay anthem.
Kristine W.'s "Lovin' You" will get anyone in a loving mood, with its beat, beating its way to your heart.
Many people complain that the soundtracks complain non-disco tunes. Well, to them I say: Why shouldn't they? There are some great non-disco songs on here that I really enjoyed in the show. Jay Jay Johnson's "Suffering" is a great song to listen to. It really makes me remember the dramatic moments in the show. That one along with Touch and Go's "Straight to Number One".
Back to the disco tunes however, who can ever forget "Let's Hear It for the Boy" by Katty B. and "High School Confidential" by Carole Pope. Those two songs should bring an image of out-and-proud Justin for any Queer As Folk Fan. I can never forget that scene when Justin tore off his shirt (he did that to both these songs didn't he? hehe) and showed Brian (to Let's Hear it for the Boy).
My Favorite fast-paced gay "thumpa-thumpa" tracks on this compilation are "Start Rockin'" by Antiloop, and B.U.'s "Summerfire"
The reason I gave this great soundtrack only 4 stars is because there should have been more. Queer As Folk has probably the best soundtrack in the history of television. There are so many songs that are hard to find. How can they give us only 14 songs? I really feel there should have been 2 discs in this set with at least 30 songs. I mean, the UK soundtrack offers nearly 40 songs and it lasted only 10 episodes.
Anyway, that is my perspective of this soundtrack. The bottom line is, if you enjoy Queer As Folk, you WILL enjoy this.

QUESTION-SONG-HELP.......2005-08-29

remember the episdoe where emmett's online sex psuedo screen name comes to life? It was episdoe 10 or 9 or so.
Well after he has sex with that online sex guy after his screenname asked for the address to screw him, remember how emmett walks into babylon and his shirt is open and he's not smiling but all yeah i got laid look?
The song playing is a 70's song called somewhere like, if you really want me let me know.
Can someone please tell me who sings the song? Because the version i have is extremely crappy (and doesn't say anything cept 70's-if you really want me) and i'm wondering now if the techno version-where instead of instrutments you have guys singing na na na na na...- is under the title somewhere like, if you really want me let me know (techno version)
thanks to whoever tries to think really hard for an answer! XD

looking back now--should have been two volumes.......2005-08-16

After 5 seasons of soundtracks, i prefer the double disc sets that have longer versions of each song. Not to mention, they could have made a more thorough soundtrack with all the missing songs people were searching for. My favorite part of this volume now is the opening theme song! Brings back fond memories. By the way, this volume is not beatmixed as are some of the others. track times:

Part of the soundtrack of my high school years.......2006-06-23

I was 15 years old and a sophomore in high school when "Be My Lover" started burning up the U.S. charts toward the end of 1995, and I loved every second of that song: Eurodance-pop perfection, bolstered by the catchy "La-da-da-dee-da-da-da-da" hook and the powerful diva voice of the late Melanie Thornton. As I recall, most radio stations played the edited version without Lane's rap, without which the song seems kind of empty (even though it is cheesy: "Like Boyz II Men I'm on bended knee"... sorry, that line makes me giggle). As much as this song simply smokes, the extended mix which also got some radio play on "mix shows" and the like is even better.
Anyway, when I bought this album I expected an album's worth of songs in the same Eurodance style which I had grown to know and love thanks to Real McCoy, 2 Unlimited, Fun Factory, and (remember "The Rhythm Of The Night?") Corona. To my surprise, there were some slow jams here too! Despite being well-sung by Melanie, as is everything here, the slow jams - especially "I'll Be There" (which is NOT the Jackson Five/Mariah Carey classic) - aren't as memorable as the dancefloor thumpers. "Be My Lover," the title song, "I Love To Love" and "The Heat Is On" are all red-hot, catchy, well-crafted Eurodance classics. And it is the talents of Melanie Thornton that make them really special. In the hands of any other singer these songs wouldn't sound nearly as hot. There's also "Where Do You Go," which is ALMOST the same song that became a hit in 1996 for the Cuban-American trio No Mercy - I say "almost" because the verses are different. Equally fun is Le Click's "Tonight Is The Night," a #89 Hot 100 hit in 1995. (Of course, after Melanie and Lane McCray got together as La Bouche, Le Click continued on with a new singer named Kayo Shekoni who was sort of a soundalike for Melanie, and scored a Top 40 hit in 1997 with "Call Me.")
And there's an oldie here too - that would be "Fallin' In Love," the Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds #1 hit from 1975. The album version is a nice, breezy, mid-tempo pop tune that wouldn't sound out of place on adult contemporary radio. It's certainly far superior to the horrid Eurodance remix that was issued to radio stations after the success of "Be My Lover" and "Sweet Dreams." Actually, "Fallin' In Love" was originally La Bouche's first single in the United States in 1995, but it flopped, getting into the "Bubbling Under the Hot 100" chart for a few weeks and then vanishing. When it was re-promoted to radio the following year, RCA did not re-release the single and CHR stations played it as an album cut (though most of them, unfortunately, played the remix, which was not all that bad on its own, but was horrible compared to the album version).

In short, this is a more-than-competent survey of the mid-1990s Eurodance sound, with a pair of big hit singles and a few extras as well. La Bouche injected some soul into the Euro beats and came up with a winner. Rest in peace, Melanie, you are still missed.

A cd that makes you dream!.......2005-10-04

Who hasn't danced even once with the big smash hit ''be my lover'' way back in 1995? And who hasn't dreamt by listening to the hit ''sweet dreams''? The unique voice of Melanie Thornton - tragically gone in a plane crash in Zurigh in 2001 - along with the rap rhymes of Lane McCray make a combination of passion, adrenaline and of course ... dancing!! Beautiful melodic songs, such as ''fallinf in love'', ''i'll be there'' and ''nice n' slow'', dance hits like ''where do you go'', ''i love to love'', ''the heat is on'', along with one beautiful ballad - ''do you still need me?''and the 2 smash hits we just talked about. The cd ends with 2 great remixes of ''be my lover'' and ''fallin' in love'', plus another big hit ''tonight is the night'', which mysteriously isn't enclosed in the 2001 compilation ''greatest hits'' of the group. A cd that everybody who loves dance music should have. The group may not exist anymore, but will always be remembered, especially Melanie.

This Is Worth Every Penny!.......2005-08-04

Surely the asking price is not too high for something as good as this. I would have paid double for it. Great for the club or a party scene, and great for driving. Just don't get too into it and speed too much.

More Beat For Your Buck (4 Stars).......2004-09-02

Music like this is usually too corny for me to even come close to giving it a chance, but I showed up to my sister's apartment one day and she was playing this CD. By the time I left her place, I was sweaty from all the dancing I was doing. I am by no means a convert, but I do give credit where credit is due. I don't know much about house/trance/dance music, but from what I've heard on this CD and from what I've been told, this is one of the better dance albums out there. A year ago I saw it at a store and bought it used for $1.00 (what a country). There are a lot of great dance tracks on this album and there are some terrible tracks on this album. When the group tries to do ballads like "I'll Be There" and "Do You Still Need Me", they come off as very cheesy attempts to "get deep". Thankfully, those kinds of songs are kept to a minimum. The strength of this album (obviously) are the dance/house tracks. There are house music staples like "Sweet Dreams", "Where Do You Go", and "Be My Lover" on here that make this CD worth the money on their own. They also follow up these classics with strong dance tracks like "Be My Lover (House Mix)", "I Love To Love", "Fallin' In Love (Spike Mix)", "Le Click: Tonight Is The Night", and "The Heat Is On". Great songs like "Nice N Slow" and "Fallin' In Love" have an R&B flavor to them and they help to even things out. Overall, I'd have to say that this album is pretty good. It's not a classic album by any means, but there are some classic dance joints on this album. It has some obvious holes in it, but it's still worth the money if you can find it at a good price. It's sad that lead singer Melanie died in that plane crash back in 2001, but she left behind some great music that will get your body moving. It's always hard to see people go when so much potential is left unfulfilled.

Standout Tracks: Be My Lover, I Love To Love, Where Do You Go (My Favorite), Le Click: Tonight Is The Night, The Heat Is On, Fallin' In Love, Sweet Dreams, Nice N' Slow, Fallin' In Love (Spike Mix), and Be My Lover (House Mix)

Amazon.com

What sounds like an early-model Casio playing "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" quickly gives way to a classic Perez Prado riff. On top of it all, Lou Bega--born in Germany to a Ugandan father and Italian mother--hoarsely exhorts the floor to "Mambo No. 5." A runaway hit in more than a dozen countries, it's an agreeable trifle, if ultimately not as charming as "Macarena" proved to be a few summers back. Throughout this cash-in album, Bega comes off like a cross between a less clever Tone-Loc and a less inspired Buster Poindexter. If there's a great Europop-Cuban fusion in the making, its standard-bearers will have to come up with more durable trashy fun than this. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Great for one or two spins.......2007-05-11

This is actually a fairly decent album compared to some the other stuff out there, on the air. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the necessary lasting power to make it much more than a cleaver, one man show, studio designed, self absorbed, novelty CD. His self adoring, ego-manic lyrics get old real fast even if some of them are no worse than another popular novelty song from some years back. Remember "Don't Worry, Be Happy"? Additionally, his lyrical content does nothing to give women the honor and respect they deserve. In fact, his lyrics and whole attitude of the album is very degrading toward women.

Mambo #5 is just another one of those catchy songs that you'll remember for years just like we still remember "Achy Breaky Heart", "Tip-Toe Through The Tulips" by Tiny Tim, the old lady, Mrs. Miller, whose fame was in her whistling of songs and Napoleon XIV with "They're Com'n To Take Me Away, Ha Ha".

Just because we remember certain songs doesn't necessarily make them great. Lou Bega had a catchy stinger and he got all of the mileage out of it in one release. Which may be a blessing in disguise! Oddly enough, I still enjoy this CD every so often for the melodies and rhythms. Then again, I also have the remastered album containing Napoleon XIV's only -dare I say- Top 40 HIT. And remember... Don't Worry, Be Happy!

Mambo Some More.......2007-03-19

This CD is very fun and exciting. The music envokes fun, movement and laughs. What a feel good way to get into Mambo.

Good album.......2006-08-24

I used to line dance to "I Got A Girl" and I always liked " Mambo No. 5" and Lou also does a good song towards the end with a salsa beat to it. A very unique album.

good for kids, I guess.......2006-07-20

The music is way too "synthy" for me. In many cases the "band" sounds like a synthesizer and a drum box. Many of the lyrics are inane. Lou's voice seems ok. My 8 year old likes it a lot.

The songs have a certain pop catchiness to them, but there just isn't much depth there. I have a hard time believing that this is the king of mambo. I certeinly wish that I was as studly as he is.

As bad as the warnings in other reviews.......2006-04-05

Mambo #5 caught my ear when listening to the car radio. It is the only passable song on the CD. I couldn't even listen all the way through the others. Just awful. I paid one cent plus shipping for it used and still feel ripped off by Mr. Bega.

So I've been slowly rebuilding my music collection with music I used to listen to as a teen - grew up in the 80's - and I almost totally forgot about Rick Astley! What a great CD! Typical 80's dance music - almost slow techno?!?!? But his voice! Gotta love it! Most of the songs are a little dorky - but still a load of fun to listen to - wish he's put out something new - again, great voice! Love Rick Astley! Dig the CD!

Editorial Review.......2006-11-06

"In the '80s and '90s, England's dance-music team Stock, Aitken & Waterman was often accused of being too slick for its own good, and favoring style over substance. But the producers/songwriters (also known for their work with Dead or Alive and Samantha Fox) should definitely be proud of their work on fellow Briton Rick Astley's often captivating debut album, Whenever You Need Somebody. While the high-tech production is very '80s, Astley's soul/pop/dance music approach is very much a production of the '70s -- sort of the Average White Band meets Philly soul/disco meets Tom Jones. The best dance music works both on and off the dance floor, and this certainly holds true on such slick yet gritty fare as 'Together Forever,' 'Never Gonna Give You Up,' and 'Don't Say Goodbye.' There are a few weak moments -- the lackluster 'No More Looking for Love' being a glaring example -- but overall, this CD proved Astley to be a welcome addition to the British R&B scene. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide" [refers to 1987 Album Release Date, RCA Label]

a smash hit.......2006-04-13

Absolutely brilliant, from the SAW factory, Rick astley shines out in this record. With a voice that does not match his face, Rick Astley is my fav. Delivering such smash hits like "Never gonna give u up", "Whenever u need somebody"&"Together forever"
this album is a must keep for every Astley fan(like me).
I have the album on tape, and I listen to it as much as I can, my favourite ones being the tremendously funky" Whenever u need somebody" , "No more looking for love" & " Nevergonna give u up"
Astley songs do make way for the dance floors, and his ballads do touch hearts!!
THE MUSIC AND THE VOICE R FABULOUS
and I dont listen to Astley at nights coz then I cannot sleep-
the songs keep playing in my head all night

extremely relaxing.......2005-07-21

i dont have a long review to write cus the others have put it beautifuly already,i agree with others that ricks deep voice never got the credit it fully deserved..this album is really relaxing to listen to at home or whenever...i love the song "it would take a strong man"he really uses his voice in that one..whenever you need somebody is a fave of mine also as well as never going to give you up!!i would recommend anyone to have this one added to your library if you dont already have it

More than just a late 1980s Manufactured "Disco King".......2005-06-21

There are a lot of reasons why I consider the way Rick Astley burst on the music scene in 1988 with his debut album "Whenever You Need Somebody". The 1980s music landscape had undergone a major change. The early 1980s pop music sound started out as a Synth-Pop sound, but by the late 1980s transformed to a more "natural" guitar-laden sound. It was during this time that even Heavy Metal music was becoming mainstream. As the 1980s started, the Disco craze had already subsided and the backlash on Disco had begun. In reality, Disco really morphed into Dance Club music and there always was a niche for Dance Club music in the 1980s. However, by 1988 even Dance Music was beginning to take a secondary role on the pop-music scene to the more "natural guitar-laden" sound. But along comes a British Baritone named Rick Astley - who would take the music world by storm with a string of chart topping hits. The thing is - his chart toppers were defying a lot of what was happening on the music scene. For the most part, it was a Synth-Pop sound - and on the charts it was the closest thing that had been seen to classic 1970s Disco. Overall, Astley would give the British Invasion one last push in the U.S. Being that Astley's sound and style was a bit like a fish out of water back in 1988, it's no surprise that his burst on the music scene would be short-lived. While Astley's sound can be considered to be manufactured and to a large extent this is true - there are some clear signs on "Whenever You Need Somebody" that Astley is able to reach beyond the manufactured walls that were created for him.

For the most part, there is a clear dividing line on the songs on this album. Four of the songs are songs that Rick Astley wrote or co-wrote. There are five songs written by the combination of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. There also is a cover of Edward Hayman and Victor Young's "When I Fall in Love". It was the songs written by Stock, Aitken, and Waterman that made up the Rick Astley sound that took the music world by storm. In other words - much of this was the sound that seemed to give Disco one last push. For the most part, this is embedded in the hits "Never Gonna Give You Up", "Together Forever", and "It's Gonna Take a Strong, Strong Man". This was also found in the songs "Whenever You Need Somebody" and "Don't Say Goodbye". While these are all catchy songs, the only thing I found of substance to these songs was Astley's terrific baritones. For the most part - the music in these songs was what I consider "manufactured". The music in these songs was heavily synthesizer-laden - and it consisted of a drum machine. If you extracted Astley's voice off of these songs - you wouldn't hear much more than what I would term "filler music". While "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Together Forever" were the two #1 hits in the U.S. - I felt that "It's Gonna Take a Strong, Strong Man" and "Don't Say Goodbye" were the two songs that took much better advantage of Astley's vocals.

What clearly surprised me on this album was "the other side of the fence" - the songs that were written by Astley. While these songs were not as catchy as the Stock, Aitken & Waterman numbers, the Astley songs were better songs from a musical perspective. These songs don't abandon the synthesizer-laden sound at all - but I think they are clearly better in both the music and the lyrics. The first of the Astley penned songs is "The Love Has Gone". This song has a clear Rhythm and Blues sound to it. I can't say Astley was able to pull off the R&B vocals perfectly - but he does have his moments in the song. He does a very good job at penning an R&B sound - so he deserves credit for that. Astley does a far superior job with the both the R&B sound and vocals on "Slipping Away". This is a song that was penned by Astley alone. While again Astley relies on a Synthesizer-laden sound, he does bring in some horns and this supplements the song beautifully. There is a terrific trumpet solo midway through the song. There are also some nice background vocals on this song. On "You Move Me", Astley again reaches for the Rhythm and Blues sound. This song almost has a Luther Vandross feel to it. Once again, I can't say that Astley pulls the R&B vocals off perfectly, but somehow he finds a way to make it work. This also seems to be the best song from a lyrical standpoint on the collection. There are some nice background vocals that provide the perfect compliment to Astley. On "No More Looking for Love", this is probably the one Astley penned song that sounds like the Stock, Aitken, and Waterman sound. This was probably the weakest of the Astley penned tracks, but again Astley uses his baritones to make this song work.

It's the last song that really made me realize that Astley is well-rounded musician. On Hayman and Young's "When I Fall in Love", we see a new side to the Astley baritones - crooning! Astley sounds completely different, but to me it was no surprise Astley was able to pull this off. His vocals are what dominated many of the songs on this album - and this is a necessary ingredient as a crooner.

After this album, Astley would begin to take his career in different directions and look at things a bit more artistically. Whether you like what he did after this album or not, this album shows the signs that Astley could do this. It might not be the strongest album, but still is worth checking out.

There are all the standard trip-hop ingredients--two guys who could probably stand to get out of the studio a little more often, lots of keyboards, drum machines, and samples. And there's a female singer, who's been compared to Sade--rather unfairly, since Ruth-Ann can manage more than a monotone and still be sultry. But there's also guitar and--wait for it--real strings. And, um, songs. Granted, they're not your conventional verse-chorus-verse, but like an insect bite, they get under your skin until you're scratching away and can't ignore them. --Chris Nickson

Ruth ann is a cut above the rest.......2007-07-01

If you like Trance, New Age, Electronica or Trip Hop. You'd be stupid not to buy this! You can also catch the lead singer Ruth Ann Boyle on Enigma's Mask and Mirror CD. She just released a solo debut album exclusively sold on itunes as well. Give good talent your support. Buy it!

Pretty good.......2007-04-10

This is a cool CD to put on when you have some people over just chilling.

good Album.......2006-05-04

Olive is one of those bands who should be more widely known than they are. I purchased this album last year, and it's a perfect album to listen to if you're stressed out and want to chill and read a book or something. I find myself never getting bored of listening to Ruth-Ann's cool voice. This is one of the best trip-hop albums out there. The lyrics are simple but with simplicity there is a lot to say. I like all their songs but my two favorites would be "MIRACLE" and "YOU ARE NOTHING".

This is a great CD........2006-02-26

Take a little "Sade" a bit of "Morcheeba" some "Spicehouse" and a dash of "Frou Frou" mix it up and out comes "Olive". This is a great CD. Lots of soul and good songs, and a nice voice to top it off. This is a great collection of trip hop. "Trickle" is great too, but i'd check out this album first, the best song on this album is undoubtedly "Miracle".This a very talented group. Very instrumental, and very hypnotic, this album is great for anyone who likes relaxing music.

Still a strong go-to CD eight years after its release. Enough said........2006-01-16

I love this album. LOVE IT! Even after 8 years of ownership, it still manages to regularly find its way into my stereo or, now, onto my iPod. It just has a certain quality that wins me over time and time again. Kind of trip-hop-lite, it is somehow breezy, moody, and ethereal all at the same time, completely compelling and satisfying. Ruth Ann's vocal are beautiful, whether they are dipping below and floating above the music accompanying them. Vocal heavy, and hook rich, this one is a great trip.

Most people are familiar with Olive, and with this particular album, whether or not they know it, thanks primarily to the song "You're Not Along" which gained moderate airplay and mainstream exposure back n 1997/1998. This album, though, is so much more than that one song. While I love "You're Not Alone", it actually isn't one of my favorites here. Check out "This Time", "Safer Hands", "Outlaw", "You Are Nothing", and my personal favorite on this album, "I Don't Think So". Love the cracking whip sound that the music has in that song.

This album is a classic. Pick it up along with Olive's sophomore effort, "Trickle", which is even better than this one, if you can believe it.

Love this cd. D.Cox's cd has a all hit songs made into remixes. A great cd.

Fantastic, Upbeat - EXCELLENT!!.......2005-07-28

Deborah Cox at her best in club cuts. This thing rocks - not one bad mix! Definitely recommend this one.

The Diva At Her Best!!.......2005-04-24

This is by far the best dance mix compilation that has been released by an artist. This is Deborah at her best and I love every mix on this cd and would highly recommend it to anyone. Granted that they are not all the full length mixes, and that is fine, but it would be nice to have some of them but I am happy with it. One thing I can say is that I would like to have seen the following mixes on the cd: Play Your Part Gabriel & Dresden Mix, Easy As Life Tony Moran Mix, and Same Script Different Cast Jonathan Peters Mix.

Good CD, but should have been 2 CDs.......2005-04-15

A majority of Ms. Cox's awesome remixes are here, beat mixed, but edited, naturally. I would have gladly have paid more money for the full length versions of these songs on a 2 disc set. That said, many of the hard to find mixes are here, so if you haven't been able to get your hands on promo only 12 inch singles, you can get a good part of each song here. There are also previously unreleased songs. This is the breakdown.

1. intro
2. something happened on the way to heaven (valentin club mix) (4:57)
3. play your part (mike rizzo leading role club mix) (5:16)
4. mr. lonely (HQ2 main club mix-widelife mix) (5:12)
5. absolutely not (hex hector channel club mix) (5:22)
6. i never knew (hani mix) (5:27)
7. it's over now (hex's retro future mix) (4:37)
8. nobody's supposed to be here (hex hector club mix) (5:23)
9. things just ain't the same (hex hector club mix) (4:57)
10. who do u love (david morales mix) (5:52)
11. it could've been you (david morales mix 1) (4:20)
12. starting with you (danny sullivan & kemist mix) (5:15)
13. who do u love (junior vasquez mix) (5:24)
14. it's over now (hex's club mix) (5:59)

Even better would have been a collection of full-length, non-beat mixed remixes that were never commercially available on domestic or import CD, which would have included: something happened on the way to heaven (valentin mix and any other mixes that may be available), play your part (all remixes, there are many excellent ones out there), i never knew (hani mix), who do u love (the vinyl morales mix and the junior mix), and starting with you (any remixes available).

But of course, record companies never think with a diehard music collector's logic when they release these compilations, as we all know.

Deborah Does it Again...........2005-01-07

Does the Woman sleep, I suppose NOT....This is a Favorite CD mixed to perfection, of most all her greatest club hits, thank goodness she works with some of the BEST DJ Remixers to date. She not only has a HUGE following in the straight community, but the G** men and women, LOVE HER! The reason why is her remixes all played constantly in the G** clubs, "Absolutly Not" at one point if I ever heard that again ......... Well it has been a couple years now, and I put the Hex ext Channel Mix, and I felt as if time was standing still. This is a MIXED CD of the greatest hits, excellent for the gym a brisk walk a party or ANYTHING...even motivation to turn up the volume and clean house, either way, she will be sure to get U in shape. From the club scene to Broadway, not to many artists can accomplish that, and I did say ARTIST, and that she is!/Jason Prof DJ

Nice Collection Of Her RCA Years.......2006-04-18

This is a nice collection featuring Evelyn's best from her days on RCA. Blessed with a powerful voice, Eveyln King was a child prodigy who sounded way beyond her years during the 1970s. I enjoyed all of the songs presented on this CD because they aren't edited to a short 7" mix (or 45 mix from back in the day!). I would pick this CD over the newer 'Greatest Hits' because that CD includes so many edits.

Also, fans can extend this CD by including Eveyln's 3 hits from her 1988 EMI/Manhattan debut 'Flirt'...1. 'Flirt', 2. 'Hold On To What You Got', and the awesome ballad, 3. 'Kisses Don't Lie'. There's enough space on a CD to include these 3 songs, but the 'Flirt' CD is becoming harder to locate as the years go by.
Peace, SD

EVELYN KING=Great Dance Music!.......2003-04-20

When she came on the scene as a teenager (legend has it that an executive at RCA, her early label, heard her singing while cleaning bathrooms, then signed her) she was Evelyn "Champagne" King. At the very height of her popularity she dropped the "Champagne" from her name for the albums "I'm In Love" ('81) & "Get "Loose" ('82) . This was a wise, mature decision. For some strange reason (which never made any sense to me) when she released her "Face To Face" album in '83, the "Champagne" was back in her name. Seemed like she was going backwards instead of forward because the album was somewhat juvenile & didn't show much progress on her part. The songs "Action", "Shake Down", & "Teenager" are from "Face To Face". This "Best Of" cd totally ignores songs from her "Sweet Delight" album from 1980. It would have been great if they included "Sweet Delight" & "Just A Little Bit Of Love" instead of three lackluster tunes from "Face To Face". Other notable King tunes missing are "Spirit Of The Dancer", the ballad "Till Midnight", the 60's sounding "I'm So Romantic", the singles "Let's Get Funky Tonight" & "Give It Up" (from the '85 soundtrack "Fright Night"). All in all, Evelyn put out some great songs in the late 70's & 80's. Her rival for similar music was Melba Moore on Capital Records. I recommend this cd if you like funky "old school" R&B/dance music.

before britney there was evelyn.......2002-12-05

evelyn champagne king was another of those divas who went unrecognized when their time in the spotlight was up shame is a timeless classic covered by zhane and the rest of her stuff like love come down seems like britney and n sync's producer took notes cause this is where they got their so called funk from.

Theres No Legal Age To Party With Tha Liks (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4 stars).......2007-03-11

I got into Tha Alkaholiks (E-Swift, Tash, and J-Ro) when I was 16 when "X.O. Experience" came out. Around that same time, I heard "Make Room", from this album, playing on the Music Choice Channel and thought that was the jam. I always thought that Tha Alkaholiks were all about making party jams and getting drunk, and it was all fun. What really made me go out and buy this album was the song "Only When I'm Drunk" where Tash rips his verse ("Type of rapper that'll get you out your seat quicker than a car jacker"). In fact that whole entire song was dope. As I said, these songs are all about partying and getting drunk, but at the same time rocking the mic straight from the first track "Likwit". "Turn Tha Party Out" featuring Madlib and Wildchild is also another dope track.

As for anything bad, there are a few missteps. I believe "B.S." with King T and "Soda Pop" is less appealing to me and sometimes makes me want to skip those two tracks. Thats all I can think of. Ten tracks is not a problem for me, because there those ten can rock the party hardly without any filler. "21 & Over" is an excellent debut from Tha Alkaholiks. If you're into 90's hip hop with a lot of lyrics, then this album is what you might look into. They followed up with, what remains my favorite album from them, "Coast II Coast" back in 1995. But this LP is an excellent start if you're new to Tha Likwit Fam.

We need to have a Toast.......2006-08-31

We need to toast to this West coast classic. Coming from NY this one banged to the west coast. It also enhanced my drinking habit during my high school days but damn it was worth every last drop. Just remember to keep the brown bag over your 40 oz. (remember that?)

Liks 4 Life.......2005-09-24

This is one of the best Alkaholiks albums!! U have 2 do... sorry, buy it :D

classic.......2005-06-16

This album was the start of the alkaholiks who had a different style to most other west coast artists of that time. Their sound was more like an east coast flavour but with their own style of flows. They had some nice rhymes that had a lot put into them and could flow really well together (j-ro & tash). The production and mixing is excellent, not one thing wrong. Its shorter than a lot of other albums that were around that time, but it doesn't matter because the whole album is good and you won't think about the money you spent after. I would advise anyone who wants to know about the real hip hop to get this, or if you slept on it in the past to get it. These were the days of real creative, original hip hop. peace for now!

MAKE ROOM for the crew with beats that THUMP!.......2003-11-19

This album is 10 tracks of pure, funky Hip-Hop. J-Ro (who dominates the album), Tash & producer E-Swift launch a very under-rated carrer with their debut LP, 21 & Over. This album guest features mentor King Tee & homies from The Lootpack.

Back in 1993, 10 tracks was all you needed. Nowadays, albums contain 16+ tracks, the only problem is well over half of them are garbage filler. Back when Hip-Hop was an art, it was a straight to the point 10 tracks - all of them great.

This LP is perfect for parties, with almost all the tracks promoting and prasing drinking and getting drunk (#2 "Only When I'm Drunk" w/ EPMD's "It's My Thing" beat. & #3 "Last Call", just to name a couple). There's even one track for the potheads (#9 "Mary Jane").

The ryhmes are well on point in every track, equipped with witty and hilarious lyrics, paired with bumping beats from E-Swift, The Lootpack & King Tee. This album is everything a Hip-Hop LP should be.

Bottom Line: This is an excellent album, every song is great. If you've never heard Tha Alkaholiks (AKA Tha Liks), buy this LP and see what all the buzz is about. 4 stars. Peace.
