Album Description

Instead of focusing on the honeyed tonsils that are probably the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Isaac Hayes, Stax present for the first time a new and refreshing instrumental slant to the soul legend's work. 'Instrumentals' displays Ike's instrumental gems, laying bare the fact that the work of the band is at least as important to the sound of his records as the vocals. The music that we have here is largely from the three soundtrack albums Hayes released for Stax's Enterprise label. From 'Shaft' we have Cafe Regio, famous to anyone who flipped over their original Stax 45, one of many tracks here showing off the talents of Isaac's guitarists. It's not all film music though. Ike's Mood, from Isaac's third album, To Be Continued, is all epic strings and big horns, and due to its continual use in TV and as a sample on hip hop records, is now probably one of Isaac's most familiar

5 out of 5 stars The ultimate 70's soundtrack.......2003-07-02

I have always been a fan of Mr. Hayes. He is a brillant composer, arranger, and producer. However, his vocals in my opinion are average. But that is alright because his production, band and background singers compensate for his vocals. This is one of the better compilations of his work with soundtracks for "blaxpoitation movies" in the 70's. When you listen to the tracks from this CD you will think that this could be used for any type of movie from that time period. Ranging from psychedelic guitars "Pursuit of the Pimpmobile" & "Hung up on my baby" to jazz "Cafe Regio's". If you are a fan of Isaac Hayes a composer, you can't lose with this CD.
