CD ReviewsMost fascinating mix to come out in a LONG time Scott Woods | Columbus, Ohio United States | 02/12/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "You're listening to it and you're wondering, "how the heck did he do it?" How did producer/songwriter Vikter Duplaix (Erykah Badu, Eric Benet, King Britt and Jazzanova among others) put together a mix CD with such divergent sources (funk, hip-hop, ambient, techno, house) and make you still LIKE all of it? This is by far the funkiest offering to come out of the DJ Kicks line of producer-mixed CDs and hands down the best. Duplaix knows his music and how to move a crowd.The music is wide-ranging but still somehow manages to sound completely cohesive, sonically and stylistically. That's no easy feat, as Duplaix bounces around the spectrum of his record crates to some pretty "out" sources (YOU try and name 4 bands off this record you knew before you heard it), and also makes them a little fresher here and there with the speed and pacing. The whole CD is like going to a really cool party without the smoke, and the fact that an acid jazz hit is followed by a house remix doesn't seem to stand out to you at all. Duplaix picked songs that BELONG together, and they're great songs. Weird, funky, and great showings all around (though I don't like the live Badu track that appears here: she sounds as if she's literally running in place while she sings).A great buy for anyone with a taste of musical adventure. The guy's got more standout-good tracks than most people have total tracks on their album.Standout tracks ------------------- #2 Taurus "Together" (original) #3 4hero "Hold It Down" #5 Waiwan f/ Loretta Haywood "Fellin Me Feelin You" #8 Vikter Duplaix "Sensuality" #13 Hopper f/ Carina Andersson "Welcome to the World" #17 Bahamadia "Philadelphia" (which doesn't actually feature Bahamadia on it) #20 New Sector Movement "The Sun"" Duplaix presents stay informed | Austin, TX United States | 05/04/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "The selection of tracks on this CD excellent...Like another reviewer said, it is the best DJ Kicks CD I have....I wish Viktor didn't promote himself so much in between tracks..Like " You are listening to the sounds of Viktor Duplaix" several times in between tracks... But I still give it 5 stars. After listening to it for a few months, this is still one of the best complilation/dance cd I own." THE universal sound Kirk Hamilton | Toronto, Ontario | 01/30/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Universal Sound truly encompasses the nature of this cd. Duplaix cuts breakbeats, afrobeats, and downbeats all together to form a collage worthy to sooth anyones soul. The worldliness of this cd makes you just want to pop it in, sit down and relax. Fantastic disc."
