Reviews

    improbeats
    Classic Album that deserves to be in every serious music collection. This record was made in an era when soul/RnB was mainly created in a highly formulaic way sequenced and programmed in a very rudimentary way. This Album really reignited the worlds interest in Soul music during the nineties.

    There is a high level of musicianship with great performances on Rhodes/Piano and Hammond from D'Angelo as well as inventive vocals. There is a heavy Jazz influence throughout the tracks and the whole album is underpinned by an impeccable sense of groove. Other clever features are the instrumentation in the title track which is filled by the use of vocal samples which create a sense of being within a club/bar atmosphere.
