Synopsis

Album Description

Grand Central Records have selected the most lauded vinyl releases of 2002 & compiled them on a CD for those who only got to enjoy them on the dance floor. As the label's output ranges from dirty hip-hop through to soul & funk - similarly this release does also. From the dirty beats of 'Quickness' & funk led bass lines on 'Clean Up' to sweeping acoustic guitars in 'Do As You Did' & quirky female vocals on 'Sound off' & 'Lavish'. The collection fairly represents the innovativeness that's coming out of this fiercely independent label. 2003.

CD Reviews

Won't Disappoint A Real Critic of Downbeat

Princess of Borneo | KK, KL, London & NYC | 06/24/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I have to say the track "Window Pain" by Nudge will make a downbeat classic. Grand Central releases are always on the funky and soulful side, with heavy bass-riffs and a touch of hip-hop. If you are a Nu Jazz and hip-hop fan, this one will go down like hot soup on a wintry day.I'm also writing this review after having loop-listened to this album for 3 months. It's actually quite fresh, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Descriptively, the novelty effect for me isn't there anymore, so I am unable to harp a thumbs-up with a passion. However, this compilation is not something that will disappoint a real critic of the downbeat/nu jazz genre."
