SHAOLIN SOUL

VA Shaolin Soul Episodes 1+2+3+4 [2014-2018] + Plays Motown [2019] (5 x CD's)

The catchphrase of this compilation "Everybody's Talkin About The Good Ol 'Days".  Soul lovers can go there with eyes closed. All the titles on this cake are pearls, no exceptions. Let’s start with Syl Johnson's “Could I Be Fallin' in Love”, violin, guitar, hearts, hammond, throbbing bass and an incredible voice a nugget. The "Ain't No Sunshine" version of Lyn Collins is superb. Bob James and his "Nautilus" takes you on an extraordinary magical 5-minute journey, this instrumental is haunting on the border of jazz and soul, impossible to come out unscathed as the atmosphere is heavy.   The version of "The Way We Were" by Gladys Knight & the Pips which is simply at the top emotion level, the lyrics can be addressed to everyone and Gladys' voice speaks for itself. Every song gives you a comforting warm feeling. A snare, a drum, a sequence ... everything is known and new at the same time. You literally wait for the beat  from great soul songs. (Amazon)

The purpose of the compiler was to collect the original tracks which had been sampled by the Wu Tang Clan. As it turned out this brilliant idea offers so much. This is  an exceptional compilation series, one of the most beautiful that there is, quite simply.
