5.0 out of 5 stars Latin fusion, old skool marvels and deep deep grooves...., 31 May 2000
By A Customer
Buy this CD if you love good music. Buy this CD if, like me, you're interested in the inspirations that make two of the world's best DJ's produce classic tune after classic tune.

Disc one begins with a wonderful samba rhythm and gorgeous vocal from Karen Ramirez that sets the scene (but not the pace) for things to come. The Latin flavour weaves its way through many of the tracks (on both discs) but never far away you can instantly see what makes MAW tick.

Tracks 4 and 5 of disc 1 drop the groove with deep, expansive house numbers that just get better and better. Track 5 for me, is the cream of disc 1 - Blaze take an innocuous old school acid house groove and transforms it into a thing of subtle, funky beauty that DEMANDS to be played again and again - the louder the better. Having the mighty Taana Gardner is a sure fire hit - her sultry voice coupled with funky 70's disco sounds as fresh as ever, and stands as a tribute to the Mighty Larry Levan.

Disc 2 (Kenny's Contribution) is more overtly latin in feel, but none the interesting for this, with some excellent tunes. Its good to see that the likes of Nina Simone and Jill Scott featuring on a 'dance' album.

Put together, this double CD makes compulsive listening and I recommend it to anyone who loves good music, chosen by excellent DJs compiled lovingly as only they know how.

Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars a laid back journey of latin and soul from the masters, 11 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Masters at Work have been a hugely influential force in house music for over ten years, bringing together latino and soul influences to the ubiquitous 4/4 beats of house. They have brought together tracks from artists spanning three decades, melding them into a seamless journey of laid back grooves.

If you like Gilles Peterson's sound - check out his radio show on radio one, wednesdays at 12am, then you will love this. Indeed there a couple of tracks on this that have also been included on compilations by him ('the INCredible sound of Gilles Peterson' particularly - which is very much in the same vein as this). It's an album for sunny afternoons and summer nights, compiled for the listener. that might sound strange, but it's great to hear an album when the tracks meld into a musical progression with no fast'n'loud surprises after a mellow song - something that (the excellent) Handsome Boy Modelling School album 'so... how's your girl' could benefit from. MAW are worthy of their reputation, and this album can only serve to increase our respect of a truly great musical force. It's worth buying for the Cleptomaniacs' Numero Uno alone - get it and be charmed by sounds of masters at work... aight!
