Liner Note Author: Gail Mitchell.
Representative of the transition between late-1970s funk and the smooth R&B that came to dominate `80s pop radio, Frankie Beverly`s Maze is rightfully recognized as an important band in the genre. This 2004 compilation brings together 18 of Maze`s finest moments, ranging from 1979`s bass-popping jam "Workin` Together" to the silky, Quiet Storm vibe of 1993`s "The Morning After." In between is more than a decade`s worth of accessible soul, including lock-step funk ("Running Away"), slow-pulse love balladry ("Never Let You Down"), and lounge-ready mid-tempo grooves ("We Are One").
Leader, songwriter, and singer Frankie Beverly is the focus here, and his smooth-as-butter croon, complete with emotive R&B embellishments, shines throughout. Though influenced by such `70s acts as Funkadelic, Smokey Robinson, and Marvin Gaye (Gaye, incidentally, helped Maze get its professional start), the music of Beverly and company is undeniably `80s, dominated by synthesizer, polished production, and a post-disco dance sensibility (as on the strong cut "Back in Stride"). The two live tracks--the audience-participation number "Joy & Pain," and "Happy Feelin`s," the band`s signature tune--are a bonus to this definitive greatest-hits package.

    Enjoyed it very much. It is very smooth and you find yourself swaying to the music without even realizing it.
