"I wonder... could it be that too little time, energy, and talent went into the making of this release?

Except for its fidelity to the original compositions, this so-called beautiful instrumental renditions of the hit songs of Stevie Wonder is mediocre, at best. In all, little touched me in terms of creativity in arrangement or performance. Of 10 tracks, only 3 were ear-tingingly well-performed, namely tracks 5, 6, and 10-- Superstition, Sir Duke and My Cherie Amour respectively, which carried more of a "human" element with good force in harmony and rhythmic presentation. The two aforementioned fused appealingly well with a strong, beautiful sax instrumentation. Niiiiiice! Also, I like track 10's instrumentation of strings and percussions, but wished it could have been performed WITHOUT the "instrument" that sounded "buzz-like", which was employed throughout the song and which I found a tad annoying.



Looking for "good-er" instrumental vibrations of Stevie Wonder's hits? Pass on by this orchestra."
