| | Soul Classics, Vol. 7 CD
A surprisingly short collection, Soul Classics, Vol. 7 features eight soul and quiet storm ballads from the '70s, including Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "If You Don't Know Me By Now," Gladys Knight & the Pips' "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)," and Teddy Pendergrass' "It Don't Hurt Now." While the rest of the collection's tracks are solid, they're not essential either, though Heatwave's "Always and Forever" and the Futures' "Love Is Here" are particularly nice choices. Ultimately, though, Soul Classics, Vol. 7's brevity makes it hard to recommend to anyone but the most casual of soul fans. ~ Heather Phares Soul Classics, Vol. 7 Music Soul Classics, Vol. 7 Songs Soul Classics, Vol. 7 Review

Soul Classics, Vol. 7 music CDs
$10.15 There was not a bigger, more contagious crossover radio smash in the autumn of 1991 than Naughty by Nature's "O.P.P.," a song that somehow managed the trick of being both audaciously catchy and subversively coy at the same time. Its irrepressible appeal -- the Jackson 5 sample, the saucy subject matter, the huge anthemic chorus, Treach's phat rat-a-tat flow -- was so widespread, in fact, that it played just as well to the hardcore heads in the hood as it did to the hip-hop dabblers in the suburbs. The beauty of the trio's self-titled full-length debut is that it is every bit as ...

| | Mogwai Happy Songs For Happy People CD (2003) Bonus Track; Japan
Soul Classics, Vol. 7 album
$33.75 This 2003 release from Scottish post-rock band Mogwai includes the usual collection of hip, experimental beats and loops hailed by critics around the globe.
Of all the bands emerging in the mid-'90s who were labeled "post-rock," Scotland's Mogwai always seemed to be one of the closest to (gasp) an actual rock band. While their third album ROCK ACTION showed them edging ever closer to rockdom, with more conventional song structures and vocals, the follow-up is a hearty about-face. HAPPY SONGS FOR HAPPY PEOPLE is one of the band's more atmospheric efforts.
Whereas the band's early sound was often defined by angular, hypnotic guitar riffs a la Slint, HAPPY SONGS is full of dreamy, ambient electronic textures that wouldn't sound out of place on, say, a Spiritualized album. There is the occasional vocal, but voices (like everything else) are used purely as texture here. The tracks occasionally build to powerful crescendos, but for the most part, this is a mesmerizing, meditative effort suggestive ...

| | Bob Sinclar Western Dream CD (2006)
Soul Classics, Vol. 7 music CDs
$26.79 Roughly a year after the club success of "Love Generation," another in a string of such hits by French house producer Christophe le Friant, Tommy Boy released a full-length Bob Sinclar album, Western Dream, comprised of numerous other similarly styled songs. To clarify any potential confusion, Bob Sinclar is a nom de plume of le Friant, and though the producer is French, all his songs here are sung in English. "Love Generation" remains the highlight, despite all the new productions. Driven by an aggressively strummed acoustic guitar, the song features Gary "Nesta" Pine of the Wailers on lead vocals, thereby giving this otherwise straightforward club track a more universal appeal. Its feel-good lyrics about how love can make the world a better place are typical of Western Dream, an album filled with such feel-good, lovey-dovey sentiment, every song carried by a lead vocal. The production work of le Friant is almost secondary throughout, appealing enough and surely energetic, yet not all that interesting and far from novel. So the best songs here tend to be the ones graced with the best vocals, like "World, Hold On," sung wonderfully by Steve Edwards. Some songs, like "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)," for instance, are so clichéd they're potentially uncomfortable; these lesser tracks aim for flashy fun yet are just way too obvious for anyone who's an experienced dance music listener, coming across like watered-down Basement Jaxx for beginners. Ultimately, Western Dream is an album comprised of a couple really good songs padded with a lot of same-sounding filler that unfortunately falls flat. Stick with the singles if you can. ~ Jason Birchmeier
