Album Review

Either 1994's Stellar Fungk: The Best of Slave or 2001's Greatest Hits will suit you better than this skimpy set, a ten-track disc that includes a lot of Slave's most memorable songs ("Slide," "Just a Touch of Love," "Watching You," "Just a Touch of Love") but fails to be fully representative. Also, four of the tracks come from Steve Arrington's solo work and with his Hall of Fame, a further disservice to the group. The sleeve design is no help, a brainless art department blunder using kaleidoscopic graphics that makes Slave out to be some obscure psychedelic rock band from the '60s. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
