Amazon.com This compilation features the best slow ballads of one of R&B's most enduring acts. Beginning with one of Maze's signature tunes, "Happy Feelin's," the project sets sail on a musical journey through calming melodies. Over the years, the band has offered listeners more than easy listening; it's provided soothing sounds capable of altering your emotional state. Steady grooves, such as "Lovely Inspiration" and the seminal "We Are One," are as spiritually enriching as they are joys to listen to. Laced with a welcome ethereal atmosphere, this album musically embodies all the hopes and dreams found in loving relationships. "When You Love Someone" juxtaposes bliss with melancholy, perhaps epitomizing this act's ability to reach its audience emotionally. This set is a real mood setter. --J.R. Reynolds
