Notenshun are Lofty and Werner Niedermeier and no strangers to this pages. You may remember their remixes for Ultra Naté’s Feel Love or their own Soul Music and Unfinished Business. The latter two are also featured on this nice collection of soulful and jazzy house cuts. As the tracklisting shows Notenshun don’t rely on the latest, hippest records but on an inspiring blend of almost classic cuts like Jody Watley’s Photographs or Kim English’s C’est La Vie and soon to be released cuts like Notenshun’s own Lyrical Flight or their rework of Nathan Haines’s U See That (the original appeared on the Chilli Funk release Squire For Hire). If you’re into vocal house then this is the first compilation of 2006 you should get. Here you get the powerful voices of Tommy Blaize (Takin U Back) and Diamond Temple (I Never Knew, by the way with backing vocals by veteran soul group Ray, Goodman and Brown) together with Paul Randolph (This Means That). Unfortunately not included on the promo copy I’ve got is the second CD with ten mouth-watering and exclusive songs. So I can’t say anything about Phil Asher’s remix of Roy Ayer’s Brand New Feeling or Notenshun’s Fuel In The Fire (again with Sandy Mill who seems to become Notenshun’s in-house singer) except that I wanna have them! *grin*
