Wow! What an album!!!.......2004-10-15
Right from the beginning this cd takes off and flies! The KOT Anthem is cookin'. Although it's really short it grabs you because of the beat. Besides, back in the day in Chicago, djs would often play a beat track or an instrumental and you would hear a short speech being played over the track. Track two has a sweet vocal. 'Nuff said! Track three is an excellent cover of a Sister Sledge classic. The next track has yet another sweet vocal. Add a real jazz/funk element to the beat and you have a smooth song. Next track, "My Love Is Real": groovin' vocals again. We also get something of a disco/rock feel. Makes you wonder how come this stuff isn't on MTV! Track six, for the hard-heads. Not really hard, but tough and driven to make you dance! Track seven comes on strong with the vocals once again. Where do they get the vocalists from???? This time we are treated with Treassa Fennie and Dawn Tallman providing background vocals. Awesome! The next track is all about dancing, and I'm not just saying that because of the title! This will make you move. We have the old skool disco sound here, which is appropriate because disco never died, it became House! Track nine is such a smoothie. "Nuff said! Track ten is one of those all-time anthems. If you don't know now you know! Track eleven is simple but effective. Sometimes all you need is a simple bassline and simple lyrics, then let the vocalists take over! Track twelve has the same formula. Track thirteen takes you to the jazz/funk area again.
Now for cd two:
"Finally" gets a boost, courtesy of Louie Vega. The Dance Ritual Mix and Kosmic Dub are the bomb! I don't have the Nuyorican Soul Mix but I have heard it before and it rocks, too! Kevin Yost's mix goes deep. Lenny Fontany gives "Tear It Up" a mellow treatment while Bob Sinclair gives it the spooky disco treatment. And then there's "In The Night". Tough, but soulful and the vocals stand strong. Considering that these are all tracks that were previously vinyl releases the only thing left to say is that anyone who gets vinyl will be just as lucky as anyone who gets this limited edition double set. All of the remixes are hot and are sure to please any dedicated house fan.
