M People Renaissance

Demon Music will release Renaissance, an 11-disc M People career-spanning box set in February that features albums, remixes, rarities and two DVDs.

Crimson Gold presents M People ‘Gold’, the only M People compilation you’ll ever need. M People became one of the worlds biggest dance and pop groups from the 1990s, selling more than 11 million records, 2 Brit Awards and a Mercury Prize. Featuring the unmistakable voice of Heather Small joining Paul Heard, Shovell and founder Mike Pickering. This 3CD collection is a definitive career spanning set including famous remixes and dance tracks. The ‘Gold’ collection includes 42 tracks, including all their 20 top 40 singles. CD1 includes 9 of their top 10 singles; ‘Moving On Up’, ‘One Night In Heaven’, ‘Sight For Sore Eyes’, ‘Search For A Hero’, ‘Just For You’. CD2 includes further favourites ‘Renaissance’ and ‘Natural Thing’. CD 3 features remixes and club mixes.

Including no less than five British Top Ten singles and several other chart entries stretching back to 1992, Elegant Slumming is easily M People's best album. From the driving British house of "One Night in Heaven" and the nu-disco slant of "Moving on Up" to more downtempo soul on "Melody of Life," vocalist Heather Small is confident and aggressive while the production by Mike Pickering and Paul Heard backs her up with an exquisite touch.

Maxi Dance Sensation is another great compilation of current dance tracks that can easily become classics 90's. Enjoy!
