Starsky & Hutch Theme, Theme from Dirty Harry, Mission Impossible. The Album has from the outset got " Cool " "funky " and buy me I am cool & funky written all over it!! The feel of the first of the 2 CD's is spies; sports cars; gadgets & retro soundtracks !

This band have been doing their own thing around the world for well over 15years and this album is as the title suggests a bite size feast of their best moments. This album is worth getting just for the one track you may have heard of. This double CD covers myriad of music genres -Rock; Funk; Jazz ; Soul and then mashes them through a Hammond organ to produce a unique flavor of music that is live, raw & funkified. I think the music press probably came up with the term Acid Jazz AFTER listening to JTQ.

The big hits are all here, ones that are instantly recognisable even to a non JTQ fan, believe me. Track 1 - "Blow Up" a reworked version of Herbie Hancock's , " Bring down the birds " or to you & me the 90's hit " Groove is in the heart " has that " oh that's where I heard it " feel to it. Blow Up was the band's first released track back in 1987! Be prepared the pace is fast and furious especially CD 1.

The Big anthems for me that also bring out some of UK's finest musicians like saxophonist Steve Williamson on the track " Grooving Home ", Noel Mckoy on "Love the Life "and Alison Limerick on " Love will keep us together " .
Certainly CD 2 holds the maturity of the tracks with the more commercially successful tracks. These include the corker of a cover of Led Zeppelin's , "Whole Lotta Love"

The clever thing about this album is the choice of having the B sides of the Hits included, like the swinging "Down by the River" . All in all a great album that is packed to the teeth with music ( 35 tracks ) to impress your friends an ideal Cd for the Lounge bar and Jazz dancefloor alike. What are you waiting for! You are buying into History!!
