This is a moment in history and time that will never be recreated. This album was created during a time in music culture where quality mattered. So much attention was placed on not only the sound recordings, but also the mixing and mastering. The sonics from this project are rare. Songs like Don’t Change Your Mind and Look In The Water, emit a special richness that is audibly present. This is a classic! Having three of the greatest producers of all time on one project is a miracle. Teddy Riley, Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams. This collectors piece also includes four songs Mike recorded with Aaron Washington. He is a protege of Rodney Jerkins out of New Jersey who Mike still works with till this day. Those four songs really speak to the continuation of “Mike E.” after his release from Capitol records. There is so much musical history of the 757 (Virginia Beach) embedded in this CD. Simply put, THIS IS SPECIAL!
