Funkmaster Flex's The Mix Tape, Vol. 1 recalls hip-hop's past while pointing toward its future. Featuring a wide array of hip-hop styles graced by amazing freestyle raps by some of the '90s top MCs, the album sounds like a mixtape compiled from the radio and 7" singles - there's simply nothing but first-rate music, with no filler whatsoever. Although there are elements of old-school rap as well as modern funk, the daring production and stunning rhymes make The Mix Tape a rarity of mid-'90s hip-hop - it's a record that sounds like none of its competition. It announces itself as an instant classic.

Red Hot Rhythm & Blues is a 1987 album released by Diana Ross on the RCA label. The album was the last contractual album the singer released on RCA before heading back to Motown Records the end of the following year. The album yielded the top 20 R&B hit, "Dirty Looks" and included the lush and atmospheric Luther Vandross-produced ballad "It's Hard for Me to Say". The album also included cover versions of several R&B classics, including The Bobbettes'"Mr. Lee" (a PWL remix of which charted as a single in the UK), Jackie Ross' "Selfish One,"Etta James' "Tell Mama," and The Drifters' "There Goes My Baby." A Shep Pettibone remix of "Shockwaves" was released as a single in the UK, but it narrowly failed to chart.
Rock music's first two-LP box set, A Gift from a Flower to a Garden overcomes its original shortcomings and stands out as a prime artifact of the flower-power era that produced it. The music still seems a bit fey, and overall more spacy than the average Moody Blues album of this era, but the sheer range of subjects and influences make this a surprisingly rewarding work. Essentially two albums recorded simultaneously in the summer of 1967, the electric tracks include Jack Bruce among the session players. The acoustic tracks represent an attempt by Donovan to get back to his old sound and depart from the heavily electric singles ("Sunshine Superman," etc.) and albums he'd been doing — it is folkier and bluesier (in an English folk sense) than much of his recent work. ~ Bruce Eder
