10 out of 10 people gave this 5 out of 5. And with good reason. It has some real class (Play on with the MIGHTY Jungle Bros is a behemoth of a tune), but wait, wait...slow down. Let's consider this: how much of this did they actually write (I was there when they didn't write it, in Fat City), how much of this now sounds a bit dated (er, a lot) and how much have they disappeared from existence since?
True (I speak da troof - so don't criticise me) - it was (fairly) ground-breaking at the time and GB hip-hop always sounds a bit naff (let's be honest) compared to our US cousins' oeuvre (hence the use of some Stateside vocals/help) - but if you really wanted some proper British beats check out Derek B and Blade and Slick Rick).
Unfortunately, for me, the quality of the production here (and it is quality) is overshadowed by the attitude and personality of Manchester music, the Northern Quarter and Grand Central in particular.
Nothing against them personally, just the whiff of over-rating overbears the tunes found therewithin.
Still, Play On, as I say, is immense!

You probably have'nt heard of Rae & Christian or this album. I had'nt either until a friend bought me a copy and said 'prepare to be amazed'. Talk about an understatement. This album is EPIC. If you like hip/hop, soul or funk then this will be right up your street. Just buy it and enjoy - 20/10.

Probably the best dance album of 1998/9, R & C's debut album ranges from beautiful Veba-led soul to great American-style raw hip-hop with some of the biggest names lending a hand. Every track hits the right note - a great party record. Apart from anything else, it always feels like R & C and their band of merry men are just having a laugh. Which, after all, is how it should be. Top notch.

These boys know quality!
I bought this album when it was released and it is still one of my all time favourites. I really don't like the Jungle Brothers but 'Play On' is amazing and the soul stuff is... Read more

spellbinding, groove-heavy soul.
From the ultra-chilled 'hush' ( the best thing texas have done ) to the massive beats of 'play on' with the jungle brothers, this album drips quality. Read more

Cracking Vocals from Uber-Diva Veba
Great sounds made unbearably brilliant by Veba's vocals. Is it really possible for someone to sing this well.

Amazing
After a few listens of this album, I was hooked. The vocal tracks held more appeal to me than the instrumentals, but R aand C managed to create a stunning debut, especially since... Read more
