""Hands down one of the 10 best compilation albums ever!" "Deep!" "Mindblowing!" "Captures the exact feeling of Body & SOUL!" "The Album of the Year" "Joe Clausell is a Genius" "Two thumbs up!" "Nitegrooves is on the move!" There is no other way to describe this album except to say that Joe Claussell chose the right songs, the right mixes, worked the right cadence and sought the right sequence to take you on a spiritual journey from the heart. A double CD mixed compilation album, both Joe and Nitegrooves give you more bang for your buck. Joe mines the cornice where Afro Cuban rhythms meet House melodies. The music is at once deep, soulful and spiritual. Disc one's top tracks include: CA CHAUFFE by Dmitri from Paris VILLAGE DANCE by New African Orchestra HIROSHI'S DUB by T.P.O. On disc number two, be sure to check for: KOTE MOUN YO by DJ Hiro featuring Masabumi Kikuchi CASCADES OF COLOR by Ananda Project featuring Gaelle Adisson WHEN CAN OUR LOVE BEGIN by Kimara Lovelace Why does this album work? Joe's secret technique of playing a song in its entirety - working the beginning, middle and end, set a soothing mood for a soulful journey. This album is so hot, you'll need oven mitts to handle it. If you dig deep house, seek soothing vocals and ride tribalistic rhythms, you'll cop four (4) copies of this album, one each for the Lex, the Coup, the Beema and the Benz. Bravo Joe!"

Fabulous!!

"Brilliant! Very typical of Clausell.....but if your viewing this CD, then probability has it that you already know that. Definitely a must, especially if you like deeper, soulful, acid-jazzy house. Enjoy!
