CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Continuing down the candlelit path toward chill nirvana, DJ Cam?s Soulshine further separates the DJ from his dirtier hip-hop origins with a slow and steady stream of relaxed Euro-groove. It?s a far cry from the Mad Blunted Jazz that typified his early work, as the druggy mishmash of breakbeat, funk and ambience has given way to the kind of electronic music you can play for your parents. There?s nothing wrong with that really, since even watered-down Cam beats 95% of what passes for downtempo these days. Furthermore, the Parisian still breaks out his turntables and MCs here and there injecting some messy life force into songs like "Condor" and "Voodoo Child." Once on track to reinvent the wheel however, DJ Cam now seems happy to let the top down, settle back, and let the wind blow through his hair. (NOTE: This domestic version contains a bonus remix disc.) --Matthew Cooke Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWhy are people so one-sided? yayan | seattle, wa usa | 03/21/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "almost all of the reviews on this album are negative. Probably becuase they're mostly by hardcore hip-hop/trip-hop fans. I can see that these people are wanting to hear the mad breakbeats and crazy turntable tricks that we'de usually hear from dj cam, the hip-hop aspect. However, many people are so ONE-SIDED and IGNORANT that they don't even know the roots of the hip-hop we hear today, good or bad (exm. lil' john & the eastside boyz=bad, the roots=good.) Hip-hop came from r&b/soul, r&b/soul came from blues, blues is a form of jazz. So, all dj cam is doing is tracing his roots, trying to open peoples heads to jazz and other music, but we are so preoccupied with 50cent and G-unit on mtv that we won't even open our ears. All i'm saying is that the people who think this album is "completely worthless" should listen to it again and try to understand what what he's doing, his chords changes are getting more complicated and that makes it harder for people without true love for music to hear. If you still don't like, that's your opinion but people need to have and open mind and learn abouts roots before saying they know everyting about the tree. I thought this album was great" Dj cam goes all souljazzy... taika-jim | Finland | 06/17/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I can see why some fans of dj cam may be disappointed with soulshine, as it is something quite different from his earlier albums. Instead of dark trippy soundscapes and twisted scratches you get 60's souljazz influenced music for those warm summer nights. I simply loved it, it sort of reminded me of incognito, but with more jazz in it. So, if you're a fan of dj cam's previous work you may not like soulshine, but if you're into deep, soulful and jazzy music go buy this album, you won't be disappointed."
