--=[ Kevin Toney 2 ]=-- 2008-06-17 09:16:55 Kevin Toney - Extra Sensual Perception [1999]ESP Link 2This master of elegant funk piano seems poised to carry the torch that Joe Sample lit long ago. He works with fatter grooves here though, programming his rack most of the time to create a shuffling retro-soul, hip-hop mix. But toney's weave of spry melodicism and dark brooding is unmistakably sample-esque. Typical of the uptempo, hi-tone appro Read more:Kevin

As an introduction to the band, this compilation is good enough, including all the big hits from the mid-'80s.The Definitive Collection is a strange choice for a greatest-hits package, unless it is simply designed t

Band-Soul Tattoo [1996]Soul Tattoo [1996]These smooth, sweet songs will stick with you long after you turn off the CD player. From the funky Soul Mine, to the subtly reggae Window to Your Soul, it's one great performance after another. The production's excellent, and here is your first clue that Eliot Lewis is a blue-eyed soul to be reckoned with - listen up, and you won't be thinkin Read more:Average

- The Very Best of [2006]Scott Link 2The Very Best of Tom Scott covers his recording career for the GRP label between 1987 and 1996.The 11 cuts selected reveal different aspects of Scott's playing, but all but one, the bebop tune "Born Again," this set's last tune from the album of the same name, feature Scott in the various smooth jazz and jazz-funk settings. Scott's sound has been syno

--=[ Nate Harasim 2 ]=-- 2008-07-02 20:21:31 Nate Harasim - Love's Taken Over [2008]It seems as though it was only last year that Nate Harasim burst onto the scene with his Next In Line debut - and indeed, it was. Nevertheless, the project faired well reaching the #5 spot on our in house end of the year list of favourites while the former US Navy rescue swimmer garnered the #1 spot as our break-thru artist for all of 2007. After landing a re
--=[ Gage ]=-- 2008-07-01 18:48:36 Gage - Changer Le Monde [2008]Gage Link 2Cet album réunit tous les ingrédients nécessaires pour qu'il soit réussit: une voix charismatique, des instruments (des vrais!), de belles mélodies et surtout des textes très bien écrit. Corneille et lui sont pour moi les seules artistes francophones à nous faire de la soul (ou r'n'b) d'aussi bonne qualité. ça fait du bien aux oreilles!Gage ~ Pard

- The Upside [2008]It is rare to find an artist/cd today that every cut is enjoyable, this is one of those rare finds . . . for old school hand dancers this is a must have set . . .especially "Can't buy Love" . .Victoria has a true gift and in this, what appears as her second cd,she totally exposes that gift. Reminiscent of Vivian Green but has a feel of all of the great ones, Kashi
