ASHFORDANDSIMPSON

Soul music's Romeo and Juliet timeless contributions to music cannot be explained anymore than it already has but, this collection is more than essential. Ashford and Simpson brings together their best and hard to find tracks and remixes on this banging two disc set. It's great to have their best dance tracks readily available again - since these tracks will put a hurtin' on your pockets if you ever try to collect the original 12" singles.

"Over and Over" and "Stay Free"  are back on CD after being out of print for a few years. "Tried, Tested, and found true" and "One more try" are tough and smooth slices of proto disco. You can't do no wrong with their flagship disco anthem "Found a Cure". "Bourgie Bourgie" is available on other anthologies but, it blends in smooth with the rest of the tracks. "Nobody Knows" is a tight fusion of blues & soul with a discofied production style. The originals is classic material all the way.

 

Nick and Val took time to acknowledge the remixers for seeing their songs from a different light. Props also go to Johnny D Demairo for organizing this whole project and handpicking the right remixers who understood and respected Nick and Val's material.
