 Glide July 4, 2007

I grew up listening to this as a teenager, and the track "Glide" was, and still is the jam. As for the other cuts, I'm sure they are alright, but buying this album means having that one super funk classic in my archives, and that was worth the price. Glide gives off the feeling of cool urban modernity mixed with the hard funk groove that has somehow gotten lost in more recent styles of urban music.

I give this 4 stars cause it's pleasure. I've been a HUGE pleasure fan since I used to rock "lets dance" on the wheels back in the 70's. The "Accept no Substitute" (Ghetto of the mind, dance, etc) and "joyous" (title track, "let me be the one"...) are two of the best funk/jazz-yes I said jazz) lps recorded during the jazz/funk heyday. I have every pleasure joint on vinyl and I'll never let them go. Why the albums aren't available on CD is still a mystery to me. Nate philips is on jeff lorber's(another jazz/funk great) new philly joint. check it out.

I didn't like it once I reviewed the cuts on it. Glide is on it way to many times, and for all you real Pleasure fans you know there were a whole lot of other jams than just Glide. Don't get me wrong it was a nice cut but come on, three times? Anyway, I had the pleasure of meeting there former bassist Nathaniel Phillps 9 Aug 02 in Denver, Colorado playing with Jeff Lorber, was anybody there? Anyway I asked him was there any kind of way of getting any of the individual C.D.s other than the greatest hits stuff? And he said try Fantasy and RCA, they use to be the records labels they were under. I've tryed and there were no happenins. So help a brotha out if you find something out. By the way I have the "Best of Pleasure" it has a better selection than "The Greatest of Pleaure" C.D.

...my days in grad school were filled with records from these guys and Confunkshun (where is "Candy" by CFS?). My job here is to point out to those who have had the same experiences with music that I have and who are looking for those rarities like this one ("Glide" was the party jam but "Future Now" and "The Real Thing" has some jazz mild enuff to please the palatte...) that now you don't have to settle for the disatisfaction of some shortened version of "Glide" on an ol' skool compilation. It is here unedited.
 A little disappointing October 23, 2001

Jay Kay of Jamiroquai says this is one of his favourite albums, and you can really hear the influence. Nevertheless, it's a little disappointing because it isn't as funky as i thought it would be, and there is one track - sassafras girl - which is really awful. it sounds like the music they pipe into elevators to turn you into a mindless zombie. Apart from that, the album is certainly listenable, and at times really quite groovy, but it never hits the mark the way i wanted it to.
