I get them mixed up with Atlantic Star sometimes.

Unlike Atlantic Star, Midnight Starr was funky 24/7 (Atlantic treated funk like a part time job and was mostly safe).

I can't recall too many "funky" songs from Atlantic Starr. Especially from Radiant forward. Did they have too many outside of "Freakaristic"? Some might consider "Circles" as funky, but it us just an uptempo dance song to me.

No, the major difference is that Ultimate Collection doesn't have "Curious." disbelief

Seems like they have a million collections out there. I only had a budget collection until I realized it did not have "Wet My Whistle". So are you saying you would recommend "The Anniversary Collection"?

I would recommend it. Especially since Curious is not included on the Ultimate.

I heard one song that was surpringsly funking by them. Might have been "Circles". Maybe they funky just for one day, not even a part time job.

This is the remix version:


This is the album version:


Oh yeah, I heard both them versions.... hmmm not like the remix is so drastically different to warrant calling it "lame" compared to the original. no no no! SoulAlive

I'd have to check back though.. I'm not sure which version appears on the Greatest Hits now.


no,that remix version is terrible hmph! It totally sucks.I'm also against the idea of using remixes on a greatest hits compilation at all.I wanna hear the songs the way I remember hearing it on the radio back then.Our local R&B radio station always played the "regular" version,not this silly,overly busy remix.
