A well-done overview of underground Neo Soul from the US – one that features some of the best work we've been stocking over the past few years! The scope here is really great – with a very careful focus on the individual artists, and the tracks chosen – at a level that's far better than most of the cheapo Neo Soul collections out there on the market. Many of these folks are ones that we sell in full LP form, but this set's a great way to dip into their work at a lighter level – with a total of 16 tracks that include "Fell In Love" by Antoinique, "Let Love In" by Trace Ellington, "If" by Heston, "Just Because" by Conya Doss, "U Told Me" by Monet, "Ivory Moon" by Rhian, "I Found Love" by Emerald Jade, "You Know What Happens" by Alison Crockett, "Like No Other" by Maya Azucena, "Love Serenade" by Marlon Saunders, "Darkside" by Mayron, and "Honeydew" by Geno Young.

It's been a few years since we last heard from Live Tropical Fish, but the combo is as smooth and groovy as ever – one of the best-sounding combos from the Irma scene of the 90s, still very much a jazz-based group all these many years later! This time around, they've got some killer help from an array of Neo Soul vocalists – including Laurnea, Alison Crockett, Deborah Jordan, April Hill, Nick Rolfe, Omar, and Maya Azucena – all artists we've stocked on their own, and who really contribute a lot to the sound of this album – making it a wicked bit of Neo Soul that goes even farther than any previous efforts we've heard from LTF! Titles include "Peace Of Mind", "Complete Me", "Rubber Soul", "Run & Hide", "I'm Tired", "Speak Easy & Listen", and "Breathe Again".
