I love that you love this band - shocker... another glaring similarity ;) *David:* I MISS this album immeasurably - so yes - I say it's a solid album - granted - been over 10 years since I last heard it ;)

    wzgirl says I'll never forget when this album came out. JP was a huge fan & he would play it over and over...and over. Funny, I never got tired of it. Def an amalgam of sounds.

    Cody B says That was a fun little record, that kinda summed up the scene at the time. Nice one.US3 spawned a few record deals for folks like the Solsonics. Here they are blowing up some Freddie Hubbard

    contrabandwidth says Having not heard much but Cantaloop, which was a great track (which I must confess exposed me to the Herbie Hancock original), and nothing else, I kind of wrote them off as a group constructed by Blue Note in response to Diggable Planets. I may be completely off base (and have not really looked into it), but being that this track surfaced some time around the time of The Planet's "Rebirth of Slick (cool like dat)." I mean, if you think about it, wouldn't it be the best way for a label to exploit their back catalog, exposing new possible record buyers to what was available through that label. Perhaps I am just a cynical music listener. This track does take me back though...

    annieander says You bring up interesting points, and I am glad you followed soul on this post, maybe he will come back and address your points, as he is more label savy than myself... I think that this was when old school sampling was just in it's prime. In Eleven Long Years you definately hear Steely Dan mixed in with so much of their back catalogue. Be cynical, but I bet that these samples just didn't increase their back catalogue sales (people to purchase to have the old jazz tracks just to listen to)...if anything, the mixing of old tracks showcased the possibilities of what sampling could do, and open the door to future dj's, thus generating more sales of back catalogues everywhere. I say copy...you say cat...I say copy...you say cat.
