3 out of 5 stars A Herbie Hancock disco/funk production.......2001-12-31

Rather than use funk/r&b as a springboard for inspired solos as he did in the mid-70's, here HH seems intent on mining trendy pop-oriented elements for their own sake, and leaving his jazz talents on the shelf. Those expecting keyboard solos from Herbie will find them few and far between in the process to appeal to dance-oriented pop music fans. I admit the track READY OR NOT comes close to working up a Funkadelic-like sweat, and several other cuts are pretty good for the genre it represents, though not for Herbie's keyboard talents. Yet overall the album has (intentionally?) little aesthetic value, and is further marred by Hancock's reliance on a vocoder for singing (better to be used in smaller doses). In all, those looking for jazz won't find it here, even in a fused state, and those looking for a dance record that moves the mind as well as the feet at best only get the latter with this album.

5 out of 5 stars Captivating vocoder!.......1999-04-28

I LOVE this album. I've been trying to find it to this date. It is a wonderful set of songs where Herbie extensively uses a VOCODER! It's is truly a classic from toward the end of the DISCO ERA (1978). I loved the electronic sounds on this album back then, and I still love them now, and they probably will go over even better in the 90's and even into the next century. Go, Herbie, GO! JOHN REMMIE
