    Our Time Is Coming

    By rkp18  Jun 12, 2006

    Pros: songs that any or everyone could get into, without alienating a casual listener or the heaviest house head.

    Cons: does not truly highlight what makes them such "masters" at what they do.

    first of all, anyone who is interested in MAW is at true music lover. this is a group that will always stand the test of time, no matter how you catergorise them. be their work as dj's, producers, remixers & with a an obvious ear for talent & lov...e for a wide range of music this album does not take any of their fans someplace new, but displays without a doubt their ability to make good music to dance to, with just enough kick to get others interested or take notice. the stand out tracks are you send me, work, backfired latin lover & lean on me. it obviously showcases the r&b influences that have helped to make them who they are. no one could ever doubt the likes of india, patti austin, james ingram (past duet collaborators) & stephanie mills.these songs remind the old of what makes them great while keeping them fresh & updated for the young. nothing could have came as a greater surprise the the song "work" which is a soca song (not dancehall) made to move their caribbean set of fans, myself included (jamaican). the rest of the songs on the album just make the grade, while including short musical interludes which highlights only to a small degree where there coming from than where the're going. overall, you truly can't be disappointed with the effort or the outcome, as with this album is more a reminder of who they are & what they do & where they are right now.this album proves that they still have the formula, but just not willing to go out on a limb as they usually would,at least right now anyway.

    MAW Are Ahead Of Their Time!

    By Reginald  Sep 22, 2004

    Pros: Very Danceable

    Cons: None

    These guys have only just begun to jam! Anyone who is a DJ is very likely to own a considerable amount of MAW records. This latest offering only waters your mouth for the 12" releases. "Like A Butterfly (You Send Me)", "Backfired&...quot;, "Our Time Is Coming", "Every Now And Then" and "Latin Lover" are my favorites. Put in the cd and start dancin'! Read more Less

    Masters At Work - Our Time Is Coming

    By Simon  Jul 12, 2002

    As you'd expect from these masterful peddlers of deep, soul drenched house, this is fantastic. Lil Louie Vega and Kenny Dope Gonzalez have orchestrated the smoothest, funkiest, sexiest dance album since last year's Avalanches, Since I Left You. And t...oo right, these two rank up there with the most legendary of the Noo Yoik house legends, anything less would have been a disappointment. A fantastic array of vocalists have played their part - these include long time MAW collaborator and Kenny Dope's wife on the first single and album highlight Backfired, soul and disco maestro Roy Ayers on the album's signiture tune Our Time Is Coming, Jazz/Soul geezer James Ingram sounding wicked on the pure house Lean On Me, and, somewhat disturbingly, Billie (surely not THAT Billie) on the excellent Every Now And Then. All in all it's house music at it's most majestic, by a duo who live and breathe the genre and dance music, new york beats culture in general. I keep mentioning house but there are a couple of extra strings to this album's bow, some lovely latino soaked tunes, and even a some jamaican dancehall flava thrown into the mix, not to mention some slightly fatter than usual MAW beats. The perfect summer album. Read more Less
