do not buy out of respect for james browns body of work

This cd is total garbage.I bought it expecting the old payback mix which melded all the old hits.This is that cheesy disco beatbox synthesised horn trash rehash of classic grooves.Something a DJ with aspirations of being a real artist would put together to make himself seem like he has some kind of talent.If you like that technopop trash fine, but if you crave the original styles and musicianship of the original tracks try finding the payback mix its like one big JB tune.Stay away from this one.

High-tech specialty item

This album was more assembled than produced: weaving together actual original snippets of sound with newly recorded inserts and passages we get an intermittently entertaining offer. The mechanical beat seems antithetical to this artist. Part Two is the best put together, featuring superfunky presentations of "I'm Real" and "Watch Me", from '88 and '93 respectively. That section could have been edited for a nice CD single in '96. Part Three effectively utilises a cool song "Goliath". Overall, we have something nice for the dance floor, and not much else.
