Nuyorican Soul

This was a fun collection of tunes

A mix of Thievery Corporation and Gotan Project and Motown and Buena Vista Social Club

Although it sounded quite upbeat, I couldn't get into it and it made pretty restless.

Disco, Jazz and Soul.... sorry, not my cup of tea.

This was actually really boppin. What a great amalgamation of genres all fused together.

I say this with all the love in my heart: I can see clearly the impact this had on the Sega Sound Team circa the late 90s/ early 00s.

Some latin, some jazz, and even some disco. It's a fun album, but not really worth a re-listen for me

Masters At Work produce a nice not-so-little mix. The turn into disco is surprising but not shocking and certainly needed: If anything, the record is still a bit stiffer than the jazz creds suggest. Jazzy Jeff's there, a name I'd never considered literally before. The juxtaposition of mostly-rearward looks with what quickly became avant-garde hip-hop production is neat from today.

Solid

9/10. This was kinda sick, I wish people would have quit coming up to me at work and trying to talk to me while I was listening to this, because it was super enjoyable.

Cool stuff. 8/10

This made #25 on the UK charts? How did it not make the list?

A fine dancey time. Definitely feels like decent driving music.

Nice sounds but nothing special

This wasn't too bad, but 2 hours? That's a lot of jazzy cruise vibes or whatever. 3/5 and I'm being generous.

Seeing the names of the all-stars on this album was encouraging, but the songs with vocalists (mainly Jocelyn Brown) are too poppy for my tastes. The few instrumental numbers that lean towards jazz are a significant improvement. Overall, this easy listening latin jazz/pop went down easy, but it left me wanting a bit more substance.

Loved it, thanks for sending it in. Congrats on finishing!
