Synopsis

Album Description

This visionary compilation of remixes by ace contemporary producers is a modern homage to classic grooves from the incredible Atlantic Records catalog. The disc was masterminded by L.A.-based urban tastemaker and renowned club and KCRW deejay Garth Trinidad, who writes in his liner notes, "I, like so many others, am constantly seeking inspiration. Looking for the perfect beat, as it were...most of my inspiration is still drawn from things pre-1980...It's an education and a pleasure to discover that which is timeless."

CD Reviews

It's How You Look At It???

"If you are a commerical R&B radio fan, this is not for you at all. This is for an open minded neo-soul, deep house, experimental crowd. It's a project of old school soul hits that is re-done by nu-soul artists and deep house producers. You can feel the spirit of expermentation on this complication. I personally really, really dig about three of the songs. To me it was what I was looking for at the price."

SUCH POTENTIAL, SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT...

"Although I'm a big fan of remix CDs and have many in my collection, this one's probably the worst I've ever come across. Of the few hits that are here, all of them have been stripped of whatever magic they had that made them hits in the first place. A smokin' funk instrumental jam such as "Pick Up The Pieces" deserves better than to be chopped up and re-assembled as one of the most annoying remixes you'll ever hear - chances are that you won't be able to stand more than a minute of the repetitive loop before you move on to the next track.

If you really want a great remix CD, check out "What Is Hip?", a collection of classic Warner Brothers hits reworked by contemporary DJs who did an amazing job - unlike this buzzkill."
