Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
What do you get when you invite Huey Morgan from the Fun Lovin' Criminals to pick out his favourite tracks? What will the choice say about this beer-endorsing tough guy, or indeed his past? The first in a series of occasional compilations, Planet Groove offers artists like Morgan the chance to unearth their influences in a way that speaks volumes about the gift of inspiration. Considering Huey's past lies on the streets of 1970s New York, a cursory glance at the tracklisting confirms what you expect. There's Barry White of course, deified in a FLC tune and here putting the Love Unlimited Orchestra through their paces on "Love Theme". The smooth soul disco of Odyssey's "Native New Yorker" naturally has a place, so too Big Apple hip-hop anthems like The Sugarhill Gang's "Passion Play" and "Microphone Fiend" from Eric B & Rakin. All good stuff, and while he duly doffs his cap to the credibility of acts like Sly & The Family Stone, Morgan has the welcome sentimentality to include more, shall we say, unorthodox contributions. ELO and ZZ Top anyone? --Paul Tierney

4.0 out of 5 stars A choice selection. Take a ride to 70/80s New York City., 6 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Fans of the BBC's 'All Back To Mine' television show will already be familiar with the montage of music that is Huey Morgan's choice of play. In which case you'll already have bought this compilation, happy in the knowledge that you'll soon be listening to some hot and schmoove tunes. For those of you not so familiar, allow me to explain further. This compilation of 70 and 80s sounds was put together by the Fun Lovin' Criminals' frontman, Huey and is nothing short of taking a trip in a time machine and strutting down the streets of New York in the height of disco fever. Even if you aren't old enough to remember this first time round or you weren't in New York during this era - you'll soon feel like you were. An eclectic gathering of disco, soul, rock, and even some rap and latino, all served on a silver platter. Whilst its huge shame that some of the tracks originally lined up by Huey haven't made the final CD set (for example, Donna Summer - Love To Love You), be in no doubt that from start (Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra - Love's Theme) to finish (ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses), it's all great stuff. To quote from the inner sleeve, "this recording will bring you joy and solace for years to come".

4.0 out of 5 stars A funky collection, 17 Dec 2003
By "tintin00" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Not quite up to level of the Back to Mine or Another Late Night series but a brilliant album all the same. Unlike its aforementioned counterparts this collection isnt mixed which lets it down for me. I prefer a continous reel of music and the five seconds between each track makes this album lose some of its appeal.

That said, there are some fantastic tracks on here and the album brilliantly illustrate the roots of Huey.

If you think Mimosa is good wait till you hear this little lot. If you don't like Mimosa don't bother.
