effortless.......2003-10-12

A major chill out album. Just sit in your room with some mates and put this on. It will lighten the mood, make you laugh and just get you to relax

Hits? Yes. Best? No........2000-07-16

Herbie Hancock has put out some timeless music AND some major missteps and his time, and someone at Columbia decided to toss together a few of the former with a lot of the latter. "Chameleon" remains an amazing cornerstone in jazz/funk (and "Watermelon Man" isn't too far off), and "Rockit" reaches similar heights in combining jazz with hip-hop. In between, there's a lot of mediocre disco and pretty bad rock. Giving the world no fewer than three tracks from the horrendous MONSTER album (which thankfully is out of print in America) isn't the way to go about getting folks to like this collection. There WERE good tracks released during this time period ("Ready or Not" isn't bad, and I'll offer "Honey from the Jar", "Good Question", several LITE ME UP! offerings, and the intriguing pair-up with Adrian Belew, "Twilight Clone") but whoever was picking tracks for this collection wasn't paying much attention. If this music intrigues you, I heartily suggest trying either HEAD HUNTERS or FUTURE SHOCK first.

A TRUE GENIUS.......2000-06-16
