Body & Soul Vol. 3

I have volumes 1, 2, and 4 and this one is just as good: catchy dance/chill riffs, very cool chord progressions, not overdone or screechy. The first couple of tracks are haunting, then we gradually move in to more up-tempo tracks, changing things up before getting too monotonous. Overall: excellent party background music, or pump up the volume for a trance gig.

REAL HOUSE MUSIC!!! Not edm . Hello to everyone from Body & Soul flashbacks to Vinyl and Body&Soul talk about good times.... anyway GREAT MUSIC!!

This is a super funky music cd !!!

Great transaction. Very pleased with this purchase.

Body & Soul", one of NYC's premiere parties hosted by Joe Claussell, Danny Krivit, and Francois K., has released the third installment of their Body & Soul series. At the Summerstage this year, an outdoor event held in Central Park, the surging crowds had to be turned away at different points because of overcrowding. Now with this series of mixes, they try to bring the feel of Body & Soul into the home environment for the house fan that is unable to attend this event.It opens with a nice mellow vocal track from Yoriba, featuring the lovely voice of Marie St. James. "Closer I Get", which became a staple at Body & Soul this summer, is strictly based on the strength of Marie St. James' voice. Then it goes into a track from Hardrive 2000, which I found totally forgettable. That track trudges along with its plain vocals for a good six minutes before the mix picks up again."Philly's Groove" lives up to its name because this track has a groove. A trippy-jazz house track that definitely picks up the vibe on the mix and increases it a level! With EQ effects and delays on the horns, it bounces at a very dancer-friendly pace. "Equitorial" from Dubtribe Sound System is another hot afro-latin house track that those who frequent house clubs are probably familiar with. If not, it's heavy in percussions and swaying hips! Throw in a chant and you have yourself a fun song that's damn good for dancing. That's followed by Soul Ascendents' "Tribute", which has appeared on NUMEROUS compilations, but still a solid track. This is a slightly different mix than the album version, but the difference is miniscule. Another stand-out in the mix is the track by Scott Grooves, "Organ Nights", which is a down-tempo house with a nice organ solo. Despite its nine-minute running time, this track will really grow on you with it's after hours feel.   With a total of 12 tracks, there are some klunkers in the mix. Honorable mention goes out to Aril Brikha's "Groove La Chord" and Snowboy's "Casaforte" remixed by Joe Claussell. Overall, not a bad mix, but it doesn't seem to really spark to many fires underneath my soles. It is slightly above the average house mix, but never really hits the strength of the Body & Soul parties. It's a mix that you'll play when you don't want to think of something to play, but not the mix you'll necessarily play to kick the party into orbit.Slightly disappointing.

Awesome Tunes

When I first started to really get into house music I bought the vinyl version of this compilation. This compilation has absolute killer songs on it. Dubtribe's Equatorial totally burns a dancefloor. Personally, the "Closer I Get" and "Elements of Life" are two of my all time favorite songs of any genre. The mix has a good balance of vocals and instrumental tracks just like any quality house music set should. I admit that I didn't like "Never Forget" the first time I heard it. But after hearing it out at a club it became a personal favorite as well. This is a great compilation.

Body&Soul-sundays@vinyl :) Just got back from the party a few hours ago.. Bought the CD on my way out for a friend who doesn't get a chance to come to NYC. It is the bomb.. I will post a detailed review later, right now I'm too busy chilling on my couch and listening to the CD.

梱包もキレイでした。また利用させていただきます。プロダンサーおススメ的な通り曲もカッコ良いです。練習に利用しています。
