CD ReviewsGroovy, Funky, Housy, Jazzy... But mostly SEXY ! Amazodonte | Caracas, Venezuela moving soon to San Antonio, TX | 06/27/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Hmmmm, I'll have another vodka martini please. Straight-up, a couple of olives... I hate to review this album and say what's been said before but I have to. This is a CD you MUST own if you like sexy house music. You can call this one downtempo lounge, midtempo, deep house, or whatever you want to call it... It doesn't matter. One thing is for sure: IT IS SEXY. This is a beautiful selection of HOUSE tracks you can chill to, SMOKE to, drink to, think to, make love to (of course), and dance to. You'll find here flutes, strings, funky bass, housy beats, and very sexy vocals that make this compilation a must have if you're into quality electronic music. It is not perfect, but it is quite good." The best introduction to naked music Steward Willons | Illinois | 07/03/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Bare Essentials Vol. 1 contains many of Naked Music's classics making it an essential purchase for anyone who enjoys deep house. By now, I would assume most people are familiar with the naked music sound, but just incase, here's my take: jazzy arrangements, clean, clear production, lush textures, latin percussion, straight ahead dance beats, and of course, amazing female vocal work. Of course some songs and artists vary from this formula, but overall, it fits their style quite well. The music is uniformly positive and uplifting. It's typically laid back, but almost always encourages dancing. Sound good? It is.
Bare Essential's is a great introduction to this sound and style. If the term "house" scares you, don't worry - this isn't more of the rather dubious trash that people have come to associate with house music. The music is equally good for listening and relaxing. Some have accused Naked Music of putting out compilations of tracks that all sound exactly the same. Rather, Naked Music has a voice, a style that works and the artists tend to use it as a point of departure. True, most of the tracks have a four-on-the-floor dance groove, but so does pretty much all techno. Nothing wrong with techno (I love Jeff Mills, Derreck May, and Underground Resistance as much as anyone), but this is not nearly as repetitive as techno fans are used to. Besides that, the music just sounds good. It's fun, it's light (but not lightweight), and is great for parties. If you're a fan of electronic music, you will surely enjoy this introduction to the Naked Music sound." |
