As I approach my half century of life it strikes me I am drawn to this style of sentimental soul.The fact is it dates back to a time when real music was bought on vinyl and it was placed on a record player as a SOLE (soul!) means of entertainment.You didn't surf the net,chat online with music in the background; you simply LISTENED to the music! Sadly I suspect this concept is now a thing of the past.An MP3 player on the train/bus may be similar but sharing good music with friends is a differant experience expecially if they were of the opposite sex.
This is great music compiled by people who will understand my ramblings above.i dug out another comilation called 'Some Modern Soul'(see review) as this reminds me of that CD.They sit well beside each other.
This music is giving me a mid-life crisis-I have the urge to buy some DJ equipment and get out there and share it with the masses who don't appreciate this type of soul ever existed! A bargain price for a nice mix of uptempo,danceable, timeless classics.
