Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars British urbana of the highest order.......2006-10-23

BNH really broke loose with this one, an intoxicating mix of jazz ("Snake Hips"), funk ("Fake"), and soul ("Spend Some Time").

5 out of 5 stars A Flawless CD, Couldn't Make it Better if they Tried........2006-06-10

If I were trapped on a desert island with a cd player and I could choose one CD, this would be it. Brother Sister is flawless, plain and simple.

4 out of 5 stars Brother Sister - actually 4.5 stars.......2006-05-23

Wow, only 11 reviews for one of the better releases of the early 90's? Well, I just had to add my 2 cents worth of love for this disc. I fell in love with the single, DREAM ON DREAMER, which got heavy play on both the radio & video channels I watched back in the day.

The funny thing about a group like BNH which produces high quality music and is a somewhat self-contained band is that their music definitely stands the test of time. For those who get it in 2006 or after, they'll probably be very surprised to note that this disc was released in 1994! The group specializes in r&b funk and features one of the unique voices in r&b, N'Dea Davenport - while also producing terrific instrumental songs.

To this day, my favorite tracks are: DREAM ON DREAMER, DAYBREAK, SPEND SOME TIME, BROTHER SISTER, TEN TON TAKE, FOREVER & SNAKE HIPS.

If you don't have this disc in your collection and you like funkdified neo-soul, then you will love this disc!

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite BNH Album!!--Template For Mid 90's Neo Soul!!.......2006-02-12

I still love this album 12 yrs after the fact!
This album is like watching one of those great
Scorsese pictures that have been out for yrs
but every time you see it, you see something that
you never saw before!(In this case, hear!)
N'Dea and the boyz were kickin' azz
and takin' names on this one from the begining to end!
This is just a masterpiece and dare I say,
a template to which the whole neo-soul movement
was built from! (*This one and Me'shell N'Degeocello's
1993 debut "Plantation Lullabies"!!)

The highlights**
"Have A Good Time" (Retro Trunk-Funk!)
"Brother Sister" (Slick Jazzy Funk w/ a message!)
"Dream On Dreamer" (Groovy , Airy & Uplifting!)
"Mind Trips" (Syncopated Funk Perfection!)
"Keep Together" (Just A Nice Feel & I like the message!)
"Forever" (Lush & Funky!)
"Daybreak" ( Universal Message and Upbeat Groove!)

I could just see D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah Badu, Zhane,
The Roots, Floetry and Musiq all sitting around and
listening to this in the early 90's and
saying "This is the way to go!"
Buy It!--You can't lose!

What can I say about one of the greatest funk bands known to man? BNH is pure FUNK to the core and inner most soul. Gravy-ness, nothing but pure gravy. Just put the music on and let it go. I love the songs and N'Dea Davenport is just perfect with them. The songs are way bomb, the bass lines are hotness and that makes for a great sound and an awesome band. I have never had the pleasure of hearing them live and if I had one regret in life that would be the one. Awesome band. Pure gravy-ness.
