Not the real McCoy, 20 Feb 2004
By "bigfeat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chic Freak & More Treats (Audio CD)
This album is a collection of some of the biggest smash hits from one of the top groups in the 1970's musical era. However, for those of you expecting the selections on this cd to be exactly as you remembered them, you are in for a disappointment. This offering is a re-engineered production by Nile Rodgers, who embarked on this project to create a retrospective interpretion of the original music. I suppose that someone out there might find this album to be of academic interest, but to my ear, the result is a set of songs that lack the depth and harmony of the real thing. In many cases, the tempo has been significantly slowed. The bottom line: The emotional content, which is the centerpiece of Chic's musical genius, has been all but stripped out. If this was the original soundtrack, Chic might have gone down as just another wannabe group. This album exemplies the old adadge "If it's not broken, don't fix it". I cannot understand why anyone would choose to mess with the brilliantly succesful Chic originals, as the outcome is destined to disappoint.

Absolutely Atrocious, 21 Sep 2006
By James A. Dean - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chic Freak & More Treats (Audio CD)
I LOVE Chic and the Nile Rodgers-Bernard Edwards team and I am surprised Nike Rodgers would allow his name and his group's name to be anywhere on this. I sold this after one listen, it is horrible and nothing like the Chic funk my ears like to hear. A penny is too much to pay for this trash.

Some people don't like change,this album was not made for the timid...it is a superb remake of the original hits with a modern approach.The sound quality is absolutely superb and the music is creative and ultimately different from the originals but great....higly recommended.
