Groove Thang

"This album is likely to irritate the purists, so be forewarned (see below for some examples), but IMHO it's a pretty groovin' CD. Not all the tracks are keepers, thus three stars, but "That Lady" and "Between the Sheets" in particular are good updates to the classic Isley Bros. sound. Don't replace your copies of 3+3 with this, but this disc offers some good funky soul for your next groove thing."

OK, I'm an odd cat, I liked this remix!

"First, I have to admit I also bought the Essential Isley Brothers when I got this CD, I don't think you can own this remix without having the originals. That said, I was kinda concerned about the reviews I read on here, did they ruin these classics? Well, in my opinion, no. I am old school and no big fan of hip-hop or rap. I will occasionally listen to it, but I don't own one single CD of that genre. This remix project doesn't deviate too far from the original deep soul of the Isley Brothers, just a few extra ingredients to spice things up a little, to bring them up to more modern sounds; but there is no disrespect to the original masterpieces. It is a nice compliment to any Isley Brothers collection, not a necessary one, but if you have expanded tastes than I think you will like this CD.

Too Good to be true

"I was just browsing this site and I came across this CD. I own this CD, along with other Isley Brothers CDs. I am purely disgusted with some of the reviews being left about this CD. It's a great CD. I love the way the old school beats blend with someone the new school voices. "Beauty in the Dark" is my favorite. Mos Def's voice really complements the "Groove With You" beat. All of the tracks on this CD are great."
