3 out of 5 stars Cool music for relaxing.......2001-07-26

I stumbled upon this CD recently while looking for some music to take to work. I used to play this CD all the time because it soothes me. Najee is really gifted, and I wonder why we've not heard from him lately.

Not to come off as some type of purist, but I think this music is more easy listening than Jazz -- kind of like Kenny G., Dave Koz and that ilk. It's hard for me to explain my reasoning, but this music doesn't evoke the same feel as does classic Miles or even contemporary artists like Wynton Marsalis and Cassandra Wilson. It's just not edgy enough. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

As usual, Najee's playing is enhanced by some impressive guest vocals. Freddy Jackson guests on the pretty ballad "All I Ever Ask," and Jeffrey Osborne shines on "Loving Every Minute."

5 out of 5 stars " The right stuff ".......2000-05-16

This is a very up lifting cd, Najee is at his best.It is sexysmooth & sensual that about says it all! " a winner "

4 out of 5 stars A Remake Of A Color Me Badd Song?.......1999-12-06

Najee has to be the best saxophonist/flutist around. Obviously, since this came out in '93, some of these songs are kinda old skool ("Burn It Up," "Breezy"), but this is of no matter to me, as the songs still good. Check out "Touch Of Heaven," the Color Me Badd remake "I Adore Mi Amor," "Just An Illusion," "Noah's Ark", and my favorite one, "Skyline." If you like smooth jazz, Najee is the one to pick up.

5 out of 5 stars The perfect jazz album. No doubt about it!.......1999-06-14

I've always loved jazz, and this is the best jazz album to have come out in this decade! I'm definitely in love with this man's music. Not even Kenny G can do the things Najee can! I love the way Najee handles the soprano sax, and his alto and tenor works are even better! I love the title track, "All I Ever Ask" (with Freddie Jackson), "Burn it Up" (with Marcus Miller, who's also done some marvelous work with Luther Vandross), and "Skyline." The best track on this album is "Here We Go," because it's inspired by hip-hop and bebop. Finally, "Whenever We're Together" wraps up the best compilation of slow jams and upbeat dance tunes ever put together. Najee's the man, and I'll look for more from this talented man!

5 out of 5 stars TO.......1999-04-04

NAJEE HAS A SOULFUL KIND OF JAZZ THAT WILL MAKE YOU GO TO ONE OF HIS CONCERTS. THE MUSIC TAKES YOU THERE.

          4 out of 5 stars The mysterious engine towards nightmares.......2006-11-02

          This is a startling CD. For the most part, this is the definition of machine music. Sounds like loops of compactors/crushers and going on with minimal yet audible ( after a few listens ) signs of any other more synthetic sounds are heard. But inbetween these are the sounds of what I think is Middle Eastern instrumentation which is really beautiful.....it gives this album an exotic touch. On first listen, this is a exhausting listen. It almost has a dehumanizing aspect. But with a few more listens there's some slight cases of something, if not more accessible, then clearly more audible to enhance a mood. If you enjoy the more experimental stuff, this is the record for you

          2 out of 5 stars Don't start here.......2005-07-18

          This was the first ZF album that disappointed me. Earlier releases felt like bulletins from a parallel world - this one sounds like creative people playing with new toys. The technology is way out front, calling attention to itself. Also, there's a reliance on harsh machine sounds, looped endlessly for no reason. If you're new to this band, focus on 1983-1988, when they were making evocative, mysterious music like nobody else.

          5 out of 5 stars industrial subconcious.......2000-08-24

          Rummaging around in a chain record store in Hollywood I was fortunate enough to find this cd tucked away in the import section. Zoviet France is hard to categorize. I'd heard this band played occasionally on a local public radio program specializing in avant-pop and esoteric music and sounds, so I took a chance via a twenty dollar bill, and was I glad I did! It's audio noir -a melding of ambient, industrial, ethnic music and hypnotic sounds. Think Throbbing Gristle, Holger Czukay, Non, Eno -but really it's all it's own. Here, I'm taken from the furthest reaches of Tibet to the darkest recesses of the industrial subconscious. Kind of like Eraserhead one minute and Shangri-la the next. I've never heard anything quite like it. The band is shrouded in mystery. Hard to find much information except that the band members changed around a lot. (I use past-tense..are they still producing material?) The material here was done in 1989 so this was an early or middle period. Great for deep trance states or just washing the dishes, if you can find this, snap it up! Highly recommended for anyone with a taste for the far-out or scary. The more I listen, the deeper it goes... if you're brave enough, try listening with good headphones late at night in the dark. But don't fall asleep to this stuff -it could cause intense nightmares!

              5 out of 5 stars Adds Heavier Edge.......2005-03-12

              Grand Illusion is the Swedish band made up of seasoned veteran rockers previously worked as PROMOTION founded in 1986. The band music reminds me of dynamic rock such as STYX and JOURNEY. Their previous work THE VIEW FROM THE TOP was such a masterpiece with a number of great sing-along songs.

              After establishing their style in last album they proceed on a bit of challenge to make it a bit mightier and heavier. DEVIL'S ADVOCATE the opener shows they can rock hard to the edge but retaining their excellent chorus. LOVE LIES BEHIND is also a heavyset addition and it is excelletly made. Most of the songs included are the extention of last album and the production and mixing made huge progress comparing to the last one. THE BEST IS YET TO COME the first single from the album is culmination of what they have achieved through their long career. 1982 shows the pop and catchy side of the band and BACK TO YESTERDAY will encapture you by its well-hooked melodies.

              Highly recommended for STYX, SURVIVOR, PRIDE OF LIONS, JOURNEY and DAMN YANKEES fans.
