5 out of 5 stars STOP HATIN! THIS ALBUM IS HOT!.......2007-06-13

HOW CAN SOMEONE RATE A WHOLE ALBUM BASED ON HEARING SAMPLES!!! YOUR TALKING ABOUT WHERE IS HIS SKILLS, WHERE IS YOUR MONEY! BUY THE WHOLE ALBUM AND LISTEN TO IT, YOU CHEAP IDIOT!

Now, onto Marques! This album is by far one of the very best since Immature/IMx and MH! It shows how he is maturing and experiencing what men go through. Their sexual appetite. I think it's sexy and nothing different from any other R&B male that bares their body! (hint hint D'Angelo, Usher Pretty Ricky go see one concert!)

Anyway, my favorite on this album is Everything! It is one of the most meaningful songs since Please Don't Go and All Alone. This song he really goes all out trying to express how much he loves this girl, that with all honesty no matter if they broke up or not I am jealous over this! He said "Girl you make whole you are my sister soul", I love it! I have every album from Immature to Imx Greatest hits.

Marques was always the stand out and I'm glad he's getting all the fame and money because those dudes never really added anything to the group. Kelton/LDB don't even greet his fans or try to touch their hands. All ego and he can't even sing! LOL! I stood there and watched, him treat some girls like that, all I could think is, thank god that's not me!

I still dream of meeting Marques, and just telling him how much I appreciate him keeping his music alive. When I am down his voice is so comforting, he gives me something to think about even if it doesn't happen. I have Veteran his new album also, my favorite songs are Circle and Miss Being Your Man. They are all day repeat songs. Keep up the good work Marques and congrats on debuting #1 for Veteran! Enjoy the success!

1 out of 5 stars SINCE YOU'RE NAKED....YOU MAY WANT TO MODEL...........2007-02-27

Since you want to be naked....you may want to get into modeling cause you obviousaly are out of musical talent. I guess if you don'tl have a couple of little boy toy homies backing you up you really don't have much to offer. Jesus man each song sounds exactly like the other one...I really can't tell them apart. Wow he went from B2K to B2U(Being 2 Unorginally). Come on stop putting out CD's. I haven't seen this type of musical embarrassment since Ray Jay and even he has stopped so why don't you too. You like being naked and Ray Jay just put out a porn video with his ex, so maybe you two oversexed weirdos can come up with something.

2 out of 5 stars Fairly Good.......2006-08-27

Overall it is a fairly good album. Marques Houston has grown into a fine young man. I am just as old as Marques Houston so I can remember his Immature days. In my opinion, there are very few songs that are worth being listened to over and over and some that are not. The tracks that I like are as follows:

1-All because of You
2-Sex Wit You
3-Marriage
5-Naked
6-Do You Mind
11-Everything

1 out of 5 stars Omarion's Cheaper, Less Talented Alternative.......2006-05-24

Wow, I never thought I would've found an R&B album worse than Omarion's debut until I finished listening to this album's samples on Amazon. "Naked", Marques Houston's spohomore effort, is undoubtedly the worst R&B album I have ever heard in a long while.

I apoligize for sounding harsh, but think about it. Where's the talent? Where's the skill? What about the heart & soul? Where's the musical ambition? What about meaningful lyrics & nice beats? Where's his dignity? Where's hist artistic growth? I'm betting he threw all that & so much more out the window along with his tacky clothes. Marques, take this into account...YOU'RE NOT USHER AND YOU NEVER WILL BE, SO STOP TRYING!

I honestly tried really hard to force myself to like his song "All Because Of You", but I just couldn't convince myself to do it. There's not a single song on this entire album that has any true emotional depth. His other singles, "Naked" & "Sex Wit You" are absolutely pathetic attempts at explicit sexuality, with egomaniacle, ridicuously retarded videos to boot. As if the cheesy, sexual come-ons & emotionally devoid ballads were hard enough to bare, you have miserable club tunes to complain about here & there.

Marques Houston is a perfect example of why R&B goes downhills nowadays. Anybody with a slight fraction of a brain would be aware that he has no talent, and relies on his ugly mug & flabby gut to seek the attention of ditsy tween girls worldwide. Skip this album at ALL COSTS (AND I MEAN THAT LITERALLY)!

4 out of 5 stars Sensual, Seductive, Romantic.......2006-04-18

The way this guy sounds is so sexy. He knows What the Ladies want to hear. My favorite song on the album is "Naked". It is the ringtone for my cell phone.

5 out of 5 stars A Cd of Cover Songs!.......2005-10-07

In a market that is swamped with 'cover cd's' this is one of those that stand out! Randy Crawford delivers on this set! This is one of my favorite cd's by her!

She picked songs that haven't been overdone or haven't been remade at all and made them her own, the only misstep is 'Purple Rain' it's not bad but there wasn't anything Randy could bring to this song...

Another great thing about this cd is the fact that REAL musicians are used!! which makes this cd even more enjoyable! Well done Randy!!

5 out of 5 stars set the mood with Randy Crawford..........2005-06-06

Randy Crawford is a seasoned veteran and shows great promise through every recording she lends her voice to. With a mix of smooth jazz and soulful r&b vocals, Randy brings new life to modern classics. Naked and True is a superb collection of cover songs.

"Give Me the Night" is the standout track and received multi-format success at AC, jazz and r&b radio outlets. Randy Crawford transforms this George Benson classic into a song all her own. Also included on the CD is a remix of this song.

My favorite track on Naked and True is "Cajun Moon." Randy turns this J.J. Cale song into a smooth lament. Her vocals are mesmerizing and filled with emotion. She inspires fans to enjoy the journey that each track brings.

Also included are splendid reworkings of Prince's "Purple Rain," Joyce Sim's "Come into My Life," Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots," and Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years."

If you are looking for the perfect CD to set the mood for a romantic evening, look no futher. Naked and True is the CD for you.

4 out of 5 stars Irresistable.......2001-02-03

You gotta love Randy Crawford. She is a most unique and soulful vocalist. I think her version of "Give Me the Night (chill night mix)" is alone worth the price of the CD. That tune has been featured on smooth jazz radio. I even heard it recently in a cafe in St. Bart's. Her cover of "Forget Me Nots" is also fun to listen to. But, the real standout gem is her version of J.J. Cale's "Cajun Moon." This is a great song to begin with but, with Randy at the helm, it is simply irresistable.

5 out of 5 stars First time listener.......1999-11-30

Heard this cut, "Give me the night" on my way to work on the car radio. I immediately went to several stores trying to find it. I think its a great song, could possibly become a classic, if exposed enough. Purple rain, was not one of my favorites though.

3 out of 5 stars Solid, but ultimately disappointing despite her killer voice.......1999-02-04

I am one of those shadowy people who feels a shiver in the spine whenever Randy Crawford opens her mouth; even if she were ordering a cheeseburger or scolding her kids, I would probably want it in my CD collection. Having said this, I have my doubts about this album. There is too much pedestrian material here, and where the first track, 'Cajun Moon', is something special, there is little else of note in this collection of covers and rehashes. I longed for one of the songs to stretch her abilities and amazing sound, but of the rest, only 'Joy inside my tears' hold the interest. Please buy her 'Best of....' CD instead, though. Hers is truly the voice of the century - shame about the choice of material.

By the time Shabba released this sophomore Epic LP, his comedic sex machine persona was honed to perfection. From the opener, "Ting-a-ling"--a great uptempo dancehall jam--through the other 11 tracks, Xtra Naked lives up to its title with nonstop sex and microphone boasting. "Bedroom Bully" is fun, but, again, the duets with R&B artists, like "Slow and Sexy" with Johnny Gill, try too hard to cater to American tastes and come off as merely cheesy. Queen Latifah and Shabba in "What 'Cha Gonna Do?" seem to be voicing two different records. "Cocky Rim" is typically lewd, grimly so, with nary a hint of levitating wit. As for those over-the-top moans, groans, and "please don't stop's" in the background--puhlease, Shabba, puhlease! --Elena Oumano

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars YEAH! (or Yes!, whichever you prefer).......2005-12-14

I have been a fan of Amber ever since I first heard the now classic dance anthem "This Is Your Night," and when I heard that she would be coming out with another album I went crazy. "Naked" was released and I was ecstatic. With "Amber" (her self titled album) she experimented with her musical chemistry and it became evident with "Naked" that she had perfected it. "Naked" is an album filled with amazing songs that come at you one after another. The first single "The Need To Be Naked" is a heartfelt dance track that will leave you wanting more (both literally and figuratively as it's remix closes the album). Popular in her own right, Amber soon recieved further status as a star when this album blew up. To date this is her most popular album with both newbies and old fans alike. Here in Southern California, a radio station popped up and began playing her second single from this album "Yes" to amazing success. This was soon followed by "Anyway (Men Are From Mars)" which continued the album's appeal. The remaining songs are loveable, among which are the songs "Sex Without Sex" which speaks of that connection we all wish we had with a lover, one where sex isn't the only form of pleasure available, "If There Would Be No Tomorrow", a song which gives you a taste of her next album, and the romantic "Heavenly Proximity". Also of note is the remix of "Sexual", a mix perfect for lounging when stress is high. Buy this album and enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars You won't be disappointed. .......2005-09-05

I bought this CD just for the song YES. Most of the rest of the tracks are just as good, except for "The Smile of my Child." That one is just a bit freaky. The more upbeat version of "Sexual" is by far better, but this one works. "Anyway" is one of my favourite songs on the CD. And, "Dirty Thoughts" is very catchy. And, the "Need to be Naked" Thunderpuss mix is just AWESOME!!

Overall, this CD is great and is good for both Dance music fans and other types of music fans also.

5 out of 5 stars Amber's Best Work To Date!.......2005-04-06

I absolutely LOVE this album. I bought it in December of 2002 and I still listen to it (almost daily) now. The one thing that I love the most about this album is her experimentation with other genres without losing her dance/house roots (like Ce Ce Peniston made the mistake of doing). That brings me to a question I would like to pose to those who said that there isn't enough dance material. What if Naked was more dance-oriented? What if it was basically This Is Your Night part 3 (with Part 2 being her 1999 release)? Then the same lot of you who complained that it was too different that her previous two would complain that it was too similar to her previous two. Make up your mind. And, to be completely honest, the Berman Brothers (the producers of her first two albums) were Amber's blessing and her curse: they helped her become the revered dance diva that she is known as now, BUT they also set her up in such a manner that one only expects her to limit herself to dance material, which is WHY she bought back her contract from them in the first place, so that she can express more of herself. THIS is the real Amber right here. And we also have to remember that, if this music sounds too "adult", guess what? That's because she IS ONE! She's not some teenager, she is a grown woman. So cut her some slack.

4 out of 5 stars it's awesome!.......2004-12-24

i can't believe this album only got 2 and a half stars on allmusicguide.com..anyways i really liked this album even though it was kind of erotic.

1) Yes! - a good song to start off the album (10/10)
2) The Need to Be Naked - this song is pretty good, but I think the remix is better (8/10)
3) Anyway (Men are from Mars) - its an OK song. it explains the differences of men and women basically (7/10)
4) You're Sent From Heaven - i think this song's pretty lovely =) (8/10)
5) Dirty Thoughts - one of my favorites..i especially like the acoustic guitar in this song (9/10)
6) He - for some reason..i didn't like this one very much..especially the intro =/ (4/10)
7) Sex without Sex - its an awesome song, that's all there is to say =) (9/10)
8) Sex in the City - pretty pop-ish to me, but it's still decent (7/10)
9) Don't Say Goodbye - beautiful song. the piano makes it even more beautiful =) (8/10)
10) Heavenly Proximity - same as previous track, but i don't really like the vocals as much in this one (7.75/10)
11) If There Would Be No Tomorrow - it's got a good message (8/10)
12) Love On You - didn't like this one very much either (6/10)
13) Sexual (Li Da Di) (Afterlife Chillout Remix) - sexual is one of my favorite songs of all time, actually i like all the remixes. but i think this sounds really nice, and you could relax to it =) (10/10)
14) Smile of My Child - i think this is the worst song on this album..the la la la la sounded kinda freaky to me (3/10)
15) The Need To Be Naked - honestly, this is the best Thunderpuss remix i have ever heard. most of them have overpowering beats that wash out the vocals, but this ones perfect! its very energetic and you can definitely dance to it! (10/10)

3 out of 5 stars Naked, But Natural Talent Is Often Missing.......2004-11-04

Although not nearly as good as her most recent release My Kind of World, Amber's third album Naked has a style and attitude worth exploring. In general, the album is very laid back and modern. The most prominent characteristic of this album is the sensuality it emits. From the album cover to nearly half the songs, this is a passionate and lustful album with simple but powerful lyrics.

For the first time, Amber opens an album with a mood setting song, titled Yes. Radio stations made the mistake of not playing this song; it could have easily catapulted Amber to superstar status. There's a haunting quality about it; almost as if Amber herself is in a dream. Full of sweeping chords and syncopated backing rhythms, this song is one of my personal favorites of the album. (6/5)

The club hit The Need To Be Naked is the second track; this is the song that got me interested in Amber. Lyrically, there's nothing too innovative about this song. The lyrics are simple and easy to comprehend, and the title pretty much sums up the entire song. Needless to say, there's something special about this track that almost seduces you. Amber's breathy vocals in the chorus are a real tease, and I'm sure any male would love this song. (Personally, I think the Guido Osorio's Virgin Mix from the remix single of The Need To Be Naked is actually a better version than this one, although it's quite long) (5/5)

The third track Anyway (Men Are From Mars) is one of my favorites, and somehow in its simplicity you'll find yourself bobbing your head. It's a very cute track, almost melancholy in a way. The song is very catchy, and Amber does an excellent job of blending the vocal and instrumental arrangements for a complimenting effect. (5/5)

Though the fourth track You're Sent From Heaven is a beautiful song, I don't feel that Amber's vocal talent is best displayed here. There are moments of vocal greatness, but in general, she sounds slightly uncomfortable. Despite that, she still has the same conviction and emotion that you would expect from her when she sings. The end of this track is truly spectacular however, with a choir accompanying Amber on her ad-libbed vocals. (4/5)

Dirty Thoughts, the fifth track, is a song full of guilt, remorse and grief. Amber sounds much more at home here than on the previous track. The lyrics are beautifully written and the acoustic guitar arrangement is dazzling. This is probably the most heartfelt song on the album; the most sensitive song. The strings balance the ballad wonderfully. (5/5)

I applaud Amber for the sixth track He, although it feels somewhat out of place on such a sensual album. Quite simply, it's a song about God guiding her through her life. Such content brought criticism from many of her fans. Clearly, Amber took a risk including this song, however I admire her for it. As far as the musical arrangement of the song goes, it's a very well done dance number. With syncopated echoing keyboards and a jazzy baseline, Amber's vocals shine. (5/5)

The seventh track is yet another sensual anthem called Sex Without Sex. A tender and emotional song, the content could have easily been ruined had it not been written well. But Amber successfully took the idea of being totally in tune with someone's thoughts, feelings, wants and desires and transformed them it into a well written piece. She sounds whimsical in this tune, with very breathy vocals and an easy-going singing style. (5/5)

Love On You, the eighth track, is a little more innocent, but still a very sexy song. Lyrically, the verses are very generic and a little rugged when thrown together, although they still make plenty sense. Listening to this, especially if you have someone special next to you, you really will want to ditch work and `stay home for one day'. More laid back and slower than the previous track, there's plenty of lush chords backing Amber's once again breathy singing. (4/5)

The ninth track will remind older fans of Amber's previous work, and it's titled If There Would Be No Tomorrow. Going back to her more classic dance roots, Amber's vocals stand out in this song as the foundation of a very lively track. She has some fun with her singing, and the balance of strings and rock guitar make this one of the most memorable tracks on the album. This would have made a great single, however it was never remixed. (5/5)

At first listen, the tenth track Heavenly Proximity didn't have any special qualities. However, after listening to it several times, you begin to notice the delicate balance of the beautiful piano, strings, soft keyboard loops and deep bass that make this an inspiring song. In particular, the bridge portion of the song, which builds in volume and intensity, is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the musical descent after the buildup is a bit of a letdown, leaving the listener feeling a little incomplete. (5/5)

Although the title suggests another sensual tune, track eleven, Sex In the City, is a disco dance fest in which Amber vents about the stresses of constant changing relationships. Personally, this song doesn't appeal to me as much as the first two tracks of the album do, but it is very catchy and you'll find yourself humming it for hours. With surprising drum hits and many different types of percussion, this is primarily a drum loop song. The brass in the chorus is refreshing to hear. (4/5)

On track twelve, titled Don't Say Goodbye, Amber puts all her efforts into singing a beautiful slow ballad. As with previous slow tunes, while she never lacks for emotion, she just doesn't sound her best here. The song is still beautiful, with very intense chords and simple but heartfelt lyrics. While it's not one of her finest moments, it's still a very well done song. (3/5)

Track thirteen is the Sexual Afterlife Chillout Remix. This remix was the first version of Sexual I had ever heard, and it's a great warm version; initially I couldn't tell it was a remix. After hearing the original dance version of the song, I still don't prefer one or the other. This remix is very slow and subdued, with no percussion except a light hand drum loop. The lyrics flow smoothly with the sweeping keyboard effects; this song reminds me of something you might hear in an expensive massage parlor. (5/5)

Track fourteen, which is the last official song of the album, titled The Smile of My Child, is very cute in it's own way. Unfortunately, it doesn't sum up the album well, and it sounds like a song from a Broadway stage play. The song itself is nice, with all its live strings and glockenspiel toward the end; the child singing in the beginning and the end (I think it's actually Amber's son) is rather cute as well. The concept of the song is a sweet one and it's very heartfelt, but again, it's one of those songs that doesn't seem to fit with either Amber's voice or the rest of the album. (3/5)

The Thunderpuss remix of The Need To Be Naked is the fifteenth track, and it's a good thing she threw this in at the end, otherwise the album would not have been concluded well. As with all Thunderpuss remixes, it's very danceable, lively and full of impact. (5/5)

After hearing Amber's more recent work, you may notice that she sounds almost muted or timid in many of the songs included on this album. There are many great songs here, but too many experimental tracks that didn't allow Amber to show her true talent. In my opinion, the best songs on Naked are Yes, The Need To Be Naked, Anyway, He, Sex Without Sex and the Sexual remix. I suggest purchasing the remix singles for Yes, The Need To Be Naked and Anyway (Men Are From Mars), as they all have at least one great remix on them. And more than anything, I recommend Amber's newest release, My Kind of World; it's her best work yet!

2 out of 5 stars a deep disappointment.............2001-10-10

Being myself a big fan and lover of the sexy naked stylish sounds, I was - of course - looking forward to this Remix-Album of the 1999 release "What's on your mind"... but when I first listened to it, I was deeply disappointed... Reconstructed Soul proves why the "Naked People" (Jay Denes, Dave Boonshoft and Bruno Ybarra) definitely had to leave OM Records and build up a label of their own.. There is no concept in this album.. The tracklisting is terrible - it begins without feeling and continues changing from groovy house to downtempo and back.. 4 out of the 11 tracks are original versions from the '99 album.. another 3 tracks are Remixes that were available on the records.. and they remain the best ones on this album..

In the booklet you can read: "a collection of of the finest sultry/sexy dance music - the ultimate audio aphrodisiac" ..I wonder where the aphrodisiac has been.. Sorry, but Om should continue to release the "OM Lounge" and "Mushroom Jazz" -stuff, which are great, but let the Naked-People do the Naked Sounds !!!

5 out of 5 stars Remixalicious.......2001-09-26

It's hard to revise a classic. Nevertheless, that is exactly what has been done to 1998's "What's On Your Mind" (Om Records) that started the Naked Music phenomenon. "Reconstructed Soul" compiled tracks from the 1998 original as well as past and present deep house mixes. Om comes correct with some powerful production from Kaskade, King Kooba, and newcomer Gabriel Rene of Soulstice. Building off the success of his "What I Say", Kaskade's signature soulful melodies and punchy bumpin' bass lines intertwine with the powerful hook of "If I Fall" to add a breath of fresh air to any listener's ears. The King Kooba crew comes through on a robotic electro limbo freestly, chopping up the vocal and pumping it back amidst a driving broken beat. On the cd, the mood shifts from unreleased downtempo tracks like "3 AM" and "Live Today" to beautiful soulful house remixes by Naked Music man Miguel Migs (aka Petalpusher), Wamdue, and Joshua (aka IZ). A collection of the finest sexy dance music, "Reconstructed Soul" is the ultimate audio aphrodisiac!

5 out of 5 stars Teena's Still Got Plenty In Her Trick Bag.......2007-03-19

I can only imagine that after the exotic funk and jazz experimentation of 'Emerald City' Teena Marie really was looking to bring her commercial standing back up to snuff a litte.But how would she do that without appearing like a souless sellout?Well by not becomming one of course and releasing 'Naked To The World'.As with all of her Epic recordings this album is very highly produced and high tech.This features a lot of drum machines and digital synthesizers that were very typical of the era.But rest assured Lady T doesn't just go willy nilly into the commercial landscape-she really has to be involved with the whole musical process.So even on "Trick Bag","Crocodile Tears" "Surrealistic Pillow" (not related to Jefferson Airplane)and "The Ball",the albums most commercial songs Teena adds enough organic funkiness and abscract flavor to the music.The tough edged "Call Me (I Got Yo Number)" features a welcomed reunion with former musical mentor Rick James and the pounding song brings out the best in both Rick and Teena and is a great uptempo duet.The reason this album will likely be remembered is for "Ooh La La",a very old fasioned soul ballad that draws the passion and richness out of Teena's voice and it is a wonderful songs-one her classics without a doubt.The title track is done in a very similar manner and only pales slightly in quality."The Once And Future Dream" is another Rick and Teena duet,a ballad that almost recreates their magic from "Fire And Desire" seven years earlier only this time,the production is very contemporary-echoeing the influence of Anita Baker more then Rick James.Now "Work It" returned Teena to hard funk ground with an aggresive,horn packed style and keeps it up until the song can't take it anymore and just stops.Sadly 'Naked To The World' represents Teena Marie on the cusp of ending her commercial peak but if that's the way it had to be,this was certainly a great way to dissappear and go out swinging.

5 out of 5 stars BRAVO TEENA! YOU ROCK!.......2006-12-26

Jumaane again. Teena Marie is the most amazing singer around! I love her voice and her music!!! All of her albums are a must and i'm getting most of them as a Christmas present to myself! Go Teena!
She kicks up the album with Trick Bag and you're already taken in. How can you ignore that funky beat? I love it, I love it! Not a big fan of the Call me(I got yo Number) but it's listenable. Ooo La La La, her only number 1 on any billboard (should've had more) is an amazing song. Listen to the sample; it's amazing. Just try hitting those notes the way she does. And the long note while she's talking; one word: priceless. On the next song Crocodile Tears, you feel her emotion after being let down. She makes you want to sing along and tell whoever she's talking to
to keep on cryin those tears, we don't care. I won't bore you any longer, this album is simply stated as a must have. I'm only 14 and I've got it, you have to have it too!

4 out of 5 stars Genius At Work.......2005-10-29

The most interesting aspect of Teena Marie's career has been her ability to balance her abstract and introspective side...with some of the most infectious grooves ever to be created.

Released in 1988, this album is on the the totally opposite side of the spectrum of it's predecessor "Emerald City". While the album certainly contains sci-fi moments (Most notably the brilliant "Surrealistic Pillow"), Teena seems to have made a concerted effort to compiled a collection of songs more in the direct R&B vein.

"Ooh La La La", Teena's smashing #1 single, is perhaps the most remembered track on this album. An ode to many of the classic soul songs of the 60s and 70s, "Ooh La La La" is irresistable. The other single that charted on the R&B Top 10 is the jazzy "Work It", dedicated to the Ohio Players, complete with an amazing trumpet solo (matched with Teena's infamous scatting).

Teena reunites with her mentor, Rick James, on two underrated tracks. The funky "Call Me (I Got Yo Number)" is another chronicle of their relationship, which at this point had only been speculated upon by the public. The romantic "Once & Future Dream" is the other duet. Why this track is not mentioned in the same sentance as "Fire & Desire" and "Happy" is beyond me. This is one of Teena's greatest lyrics ("If I swam so deep into the ocean/and found Atlantis and the kingdom of Neptune/Then I'd ive them both to you") and certainly a stellar performance from both her and Slick Rick.

The collaboration with Bernadette Cooper of Klymaxx ("Crocodile Tears") is one of the funkiest moments on the CD, along with the Rick James-inspired "The Ball" (written as a follow-up to his own "Jefferson Ball" from "Bustin Out of L Seven").

The album's title track is one of the most introspective tracks of Teena's career and is the perfect end cap for an incredibly well sculpted album.

5 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Soulful Experience.......2005-01-27

This is one of my fave Teena Marie albums. It moves, seduces, entices and entrances. From the slick groove of Trick Bag to the seductive call of Ooo La La La to the urban dance funk of Surrealistic Pillow to the emotional wallop of Naked To The World, Teena does not miss a step on this full digital recording. This cd is a Masterpiece even by contemporary standards-especially by contemporary standards!!

5 out of 5 stars lady T from a Dee Jay's point of view........2004-06-30

My father was a DJ when I was growing up in Arkansas, I learned about Lady T at an early age. I did twenty years in the Navy I have been a DJ for 18 yrs. The song Naked to the world is my favorite of all. Check this out during my travels in the US Navy
I was able to buy a Teena Marie CD titled Passion Play. So for you Lady T fans that don't have this one when you find it and here the trax WILD HORSES, please e-mail me and let me know what you think. kendrickse@yahoo.com Peace.

5 out of 5 stars Doom Metal.......2004-05-28

I would say that Enchantment fall into the doom/death metal category. The album reminds me of early Anathema's Crestfallen/Serenades albums. Melodic and heavy, some thrashy parts and aggressive drums.

4 out of 5 stars Melodic doom-death for fans of Paradise Lost.......1999-06-29

Well, ignore the other review for "Dance the Marble Naked" as the person who posted it was referring to a different group. THIS Enchantment is a doom metal band. Paul's vocals would be the weak-link in my opinion, but overall this is a worthy addition to your doom metal collection.

5 out of 5 stars Enchantment's class and style remain supreme!!!.......1999-06-12

Enchantment has the sound that will mesmerize you whether it is one of their love songs or the great disco beats. Few groups can boast that they have the voice quality in all ranges that Enchantment has. EJ Johnson's lead and Mickey Clanton's bass are the foundation that keep Enchantment one of the best vocal groups of all time. They remain together and just get better with time. Don't miss this CD and be sure to catch their act if they are in your area!! Great singing and entertaining performers!!

5 out of 5 stars I love it! .......2007-06-06

I'm a huge Jesse Johnson fan! I ordered the CD expecting it to be a good product and needless to say it was just that!

5 out of 5 stars The most complete Guitar Rock album EVER!!!!.......2007-01-22

Jesse Johnson is one talented musician. Not only does he play guitar and sing on virtually every track, he also plays bass (even 12 String), percussion and drums on the album. Oh, not to mention that he wrote every track, arranged and produced it too. The Production, I will have you know is Top class too. In his day, Jesse has produced the likes of Janet Jackson and Sheila E to name but two. I expect that Jesse has been solely producing over the past decade as there has been no output from him over that period. BUT, I have just found out that a new album is due out this year. That is a mouth-watering thought. I hope, and I am sure that it will be a continuation of his guitar heroism feats shown on "BMNS". As a fan of Classic guitar Blues and Rock, it is the norm to try and accumulate all the output of your Rock Icon. In Jesse's case, it is very different. His previous releases are definitely in the Glitzy Prince mould, and appeal to a completely different type of fan. I am led to believe that Jesse's dramatic change in style lost him many of his original fans, and that is perhaps the reason this Album is not huge. It's a sad fact in music life. The CD contains 2 Heavily influenced Hendrix Spaced out instrumentals (JUPITER LANDING and NEVERMIND SATURN SUNRISE); 6 Top notch Hard Rock classics (BARE MY NAKED SOUL/MY LIFE/LET ME IN/WALK LIKE ME TALK/SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM and the chestnut that is BRAND NEW DAY); 1 superb Albert King influenced Blues Track (BRING YOUR LOVE DOWN HARD ON ME); 2 tracks in the Funk genre (MONICA and WAR BABIES)
and 5 softer heartfelt, mostly acoustical (incl some superb 12 string playing) ballads in the form of (I MISS/YOU DONT LOVE ME THE SAME/CRY LIKE THE SKIES/MR HEARTACHE and BELLA BELLA). Even Billy Cox (Ex Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies) makes an appearance on LET ME IN. I was highly impressed with the musicianship, and most notably the backing vocals of Kim Gage who features prominently. As has been mentionned, there is the obvious comparison of Hendrix and Prince, and it works beautifully. There is'nt another musician around like him, and with the spoils of the Internet, there are even videos of him singing live tracks from BMNS on YOU TUBE. There is also the MY LIFE single (Radio edit and LP version which includes an unreleased song. This CD release is an absolute gem. I can hardly wait for his next imminent release.

5 out of 5 stars The last reviewer said it well, BUT I CAN"T NOT GUSH............2006-11-22

.....On my own about the mightiness of this album. Every single rocker on my holiday list this year will recieve a copy of this cd. I will not
pirate or copy, the label and Jesse deserve every cent they can recover from this absolute GEM.

It bears out what I had surmised, that the hints laced throughout the Time's cat. arrive at the word "tasty" in all genres he touches. Especially, all, and I mean ALL facets of the style called "rock".

There is not a better guitar rock record anywhere at any time than this. Songwriting-peerless. Solos- placement, phrasing, texture, approach, variation...STUNNING! The opening two tracks alone tower at the intersection of rock and groove- operate no heavy machinery...I nearly tore my steering column out by its roots.

I must say, in closing, that the fact that this offering- no matter how small the label- did not catapult this player to major recognition in rock circles, proves beyond any doubt how much Black players get NO LOVE. Eddy Hazel, Mike 'Kid' Hampton, Gary Shider, Dr. Know, Vernon Reid, all make Jimi the anomaly. I wish my fellow white rockers would please just get over it, because our racism only costs us more great rock .

JESSE, I HOPE YOU HAPPEN TO READ THIS- and THANK YOU for such a smart, def(t), and rocking record! Ummmm...could we have some more--PLLLEEAAASSSE??!!

-ted.o

5 out of 5 stars Almost no words can express how honored & happy I am 2 have this CD..........2006-01-23

This is Jesse's TRUE playin'..take a break from his 80s stuff & give BMNS a listen. He is just AMAZING, his skills are just mind blowin'. What's cool is when I listen 2 the CD I can sorda getta image of how he'd look playin'/performin' these songs. All the tracks are pure GOLD this is what he's been waitin' 2 do 4 so many years & I'm very happy he did. I only wish 2 see/know what or where are the video singles 4 this CD??--I know some1 told me they think a video single was made 4 "War Babies", but not too sure.

There is NO Mpls. Sound no Prince influenced comparisons on this CD--NONE. The only one who can be compared is Jimi Hendrix, maybe Jesse is a reincarnation of Jimi?--lol maybe not, but styles are very Jimi influenced. If u think the Ultimate Collection is givin' u all the best of Jesse U'RE WRONG. If u don't have ne tracks from BMNS u're missin' out.Each track is apparently very personal & u just feel it too when u listen 2 them.

Prince/The Artist may have released a 3 disc set the same year(Emancipation) but BMNS blows Emancipation outta the water--sorry but this 1 goes 2 Jesse. All respects 2 Prince/The Artist though.

The CD is currently on track 7 "Walk Like Me Talk" just str8 rock in your face! His playin' is too hot! I dunno if it's real fair 2 say if I have favorites tracks from the CD b/c I love'em all. Although "I Miss" & "Nevermind Saturn Sunrise" are in my Creative MuVo mp3 player rotation. If I had an Ipod or a more advanced Creative MuVo mp3 player I'd scan the entire CD on 2 it. Track 15 "Monika" is the one that actually makes me get up & dance it's funkrock & the lyrics are badass'n cool at the same time!

Well, 2 the conclusion this CD is not considered a "completion" of Jesse's official releases--this is one U MUST buy if u want 2 hear his TRUE style. U got Rock, Funk, Rhythm 'n Blues, some experiemental all wrapped in2 one--nothin' more u could ask except 4 2 see a video single. Other than that, get this CD. Sure, the prices are type high ($30 & up) but I promise u it's worth it, no disappointments.

Thank U Jesse 4 makin' this wonderful CD & thanx 2 the people whom inspired him.


5 out of 5 stars great guitar playing riff master.......2005-02-18

Oh man! JJ is THE riffmaster. He has chops! this is a very,very good guitar CD. Heavily influenced by Hendrix and the Minneapolis Prince sound. The guitar work is versatile from straight ahead rock to slide playing. Standouts: Bare my naked soul, My Life, Shock to the System, Crazy like the Skies, Brand New Day. IF you like guitar playing in a funky, soulful, riff-filled way reminiscient of Jimmy Hendrix......this is a MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!! His lead work is KICKING!!!!!!
