Various - Mellow Mellow: The 15th Anniversary Crystal Edition

if you've ever wondered where nineties' superstars, from a tribe called quest to portishead stole their breaks from, then this compilation holds many of the answers. if however, you may be too aware of where some of the best dance tracks are pilfered from then you'll recognise the value of getting your hands on this treasure-trove of seventies' soul and funk rarities. for example, massive attack's 'lately' sampled lowrell's majestic 'mellow mellow right on' and nightmares on wax's 'a night's interlude' borrowed from quincy jones's sublime 'summer in the city'. with a cast list that reads like a who's who of the prime movers of the era it's an essential purchase for any soul boy or girl.
