 (3 Customer Reviews)
Recorded between 1974 & 1978. Includes liner notes by Alan Light.
From their erotically charged album covers to their grinding, bass-heavy grooves, the Ohio Players were one of the highest profile funk bands of the 1970s. The superb two-disc anthology FUNK ON FIRE represents everything that made the Players great--fine musicianship, a blend of fiercely syncopated rhythms with pop accessibility, and a sassy, outrageous attitude (thanks, in large part, to the animated vocals of Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner). Though the Players released several records for the Detroit-based Westbound label in the early part of their career, they really hit their stride when they signed to Mercury, where they released a string of charting albums, including the funk classics FIRE and HONEY.
All the hits and key tracks from the Mercury albums are here, including the hard-driving "Fire" and the infectious "Love Rollercoaster," as well as lush, keyboard- and falsetto-drenched ballads ("Together"). While the Players' late-'70s material is generally considered inferior to their mid-'70s work, the second disc of this anthology does an admirable job of picking the best tracks from these later albums--"O-H-I-O" and the spacey "Funk-O-Nots," among them. In short, the Players' best work is boiled down on this definitive set, making it a crucial addition to any funk library.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Relaxation for the Body and Mindc 2006 Heidi Minnick, Ph.D. - Clinical Psychologist By listening to this guided relaxation sound track, your body will begin to let go of tension, agitation and anxiety. This CD gently guides you through your body using imagery and suggestions of how to breath properly and let go of stress. Through gentle wording, this relaxation encourages you to release obsessive thoughts and flow into the body, deeply settling into a peaceful place.TracksEach track has the same guided relaxation script to enhance conscious body relaxation, deep, slow breathing and a suggestion to sleep and rest. While the relaxation words are the same, each of the 20 minute tracks has a different background sound . Listen to each one to see which selection is most effective for you. Guided Relaxation for the Body and Mind - Selections: 1. Guided Relaxation-voice only(20:00) 2. Guided Relaxation-with waves(20:00) 3. Guided Relaxation -with music(20:00)Listening to one selection, one to two times daily will allow your body to learn full body relaxation. For sleep problems, try it right before bedtime. After listening to the CD for two weeks or so, you may notice your body beginning to really let go, even at the start of the CD. Besides many physical benefits of body relaxation, people often begin to become aware of even small bits of tension that they may not have been aware of before. The body awareness you can develop by practicing full body relaxation makes you more in-tune with yourself. When you are aware of the beginnings of stress, this awareness can allow you to make a conscious effort to take steps to breathe and let go at an earlier moment, before more tension can build up.MindBody Relaxation...1.Brings you more in-tune with your body and its sensations.2.Allows you to step back from what you are living and get perspective.3.Allows the natural flow of healing.4.Allows an expansion of ideas and creativity.5.Brings you closer to your inner truth.6.Allows you access to better feeling thoughts and possibilities.7.
