Customer Reviews
Simply an outstanding reflection of the 80's Dance sound
I was already a Change fan having purchased a couple of albums in their hayday of the early to mid eighties, but even I was suprised just how good many of the tracks sound today. Change may not be an artist all are familier with, most will be pleasantly surprised to unearth a classic and I mean CLASSIC from the past, of which there are at least 5 on this album, "Change of Heart" and "Searching" to name but two. Although in my opinion the quality dips in the middle of the cd the tracks either end will bring memories flooding back. Obvious comparisons are to be made with Chic but the tracks on this album have a harder edge with the same infectious groove. The tracks do evolve through the 80's from the early disco bias, with help from Luther Vandross through the Funk era and on to the mid eighties soul sound. I thought the later tracks, represented here by the brilliant "Lets go Together" were as good as their early work, proving Change to be one of the greatest acts of this genre of all time.
This is as good as funk gets, I have no hesitation in awarding 5 stars.
Cool Cool Sounds of Change - Maximus Groove
If one band could out-do Chic its gotta be Change. A strange hybrid of Italian house mixed with the sound of New York, but it works to great effect and almost every track on this wonderful c.d is a classic in its own right - listen out for early Luthor V on some tracks - A must buy for any serious soul/dance fan and if you adore Chic, you'll flip with Change.
'Classy Stuff'
Change were a band incredibly well named. Their line up never seemed to stay the same from one album to the next. Despite this though the overall standard of a lot of their albums was high. Sadly however the first three tracks on this cd (all from their first album 'The Glow Of Love') are all 7" edits and NOT the full length versions which is a shame and a negative pointer for DJ's. 'Paradise' 'Hold Tight' and 'The Very Best In You' are all great classy dancers and most of the other tracks are pretty good too (Though 'Hard Times' and 'Don't Wait Another Night' were not Change's finest hour). Another minor complaint being the omission of the bands best ever ballad 'Sharing Your Love' but, if you are looking for a hits collection this will do you nicely. Buy this and then buy their excellent 'The Glow Of Love' and 'Miracles' albums too!
