Mike

here's the skinny on the curtis remix project, think out a few months ago did dip into a couple of online clips but memory says didnt do enough to me to go deeper did anyone give it a go thumbs up or down ? MAYFIELD: REMIXED - THE CURTIS MAYFIELD COLLECTION includes hip-hop hero Grandmaster Flash giving the old-school treatment to The Impressions' hit "We're A Winner." Pioneering New York City house music DJ Louie Vega turns "Superfly" into a heady club classic with muffled backbeats, Latin percussion, and trippy synthesizers. Renowned keyboard player, remixer, and producer Eric Kupper ties Mayfield's beautiful falsetto melody on "Move On Up" to an insistent rhythm. King Britt evokes the bleak urban tale of "Little Child Runnin' Wild" with a languid beat and a claustrophobic wall of sound. Solo artist and Beastie Boy collaborator MIXMASTERMIKE deconstructs Mayfield's "Pusherman" by adding a mechanical sheen and daredevil scratching to the funk classic. Grammy í…¡-winner Maurice Joshua's Nu Soul Mix of "(Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below We're All Going To Go," and "People Get Ready" as reinterpreted by StoneBridge among the other transcendent tracks included on the album. "One of the reasons to do this remix album was to have Curtis legacy continue on to yet another generation," says executive producer Ron Weisner. "When you stop and reflect on a man of integrity, principle, and true creative genius, it is important to keep his words and music alive." "In assembling this all-star team of musical spin doctors around the world," says the album's co-executive producer, Brad LeBeau, "it is my hope that the very same music that had such a profound effect on my youth will be rediscovered and appreciated today." Mayfield's career was cut tragically short in 1990 when a lighting rig collapsed on him during a concert in Brooklyn, leaving him a quadriplegic. Mayfield -- the soulful poet laureate whose timeless music, courage, and strength inspired countless fans -- died in 1999 at the age of 57, a few months after his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With the release of MAYFIELD: REMIXED - THE CURTIS MAYFIELD COLLECTION five years after Mayfield's death, it's clear that the work of this musical prophet continues to resonate with a new generation of listeners and performers.
