I liked "Now" too, it had some pretty good stuff on there, but compared to the first two albums as well as the unplugged album, it's Maxi's weakest album to date, IMO. DAG! I forgot 2 mention the unplugged album. Hell YES on that! "He's a musician's musician..." | |

I love the 'aerial' atmosphere in it (the synth layer and his breezy falsetto just give me goosebumps: Good for lovemaking AND weed-smoking too  ...). I think it's his best work VOCALLY speaking... That voice just soothe me..
My favorite tracks are "Drowndeep" - "Maybe You" and... (Just found ou there was a video for this one few weeks ago!! My favorite from the album) I posted about this song once before. Its my favorite (vocally) from this record, too | |

missfee said: ernestsewell said: Yes. You can buy it on iTunes, and Rhapsody. If you put your CD in a regular CD player, cue up track 1, then hit the Rewind button, as if you're scanning for an earlier part of the song (opposed to Previous Track or Next Track buttons). Most CD players will scan into the negative numbers. It's just over 3 minutes long. Your CD player should ring -03:15 or so. It's considered track :00 in the CD jacket, if you take a peek. Are you serious???? You mean I've had the cd for 10 years and never knew this????  I will definitely be checking this out when I get home today.Okay, all this time I thought I was missing out cause I bought the cassette (back in the day). I recently bought the itunes album and never thought about the missing track till this thread. Well, it was on the cassette so I never missed out.. Yay, for me. Space for sale... | |

I don't even remember how I found the track. I think I was just backing up a track and doing it by using the Scan feature, instead of Previous, and all of a sudden, my CD player was in the negative numbers, and playing some other track. | |

 But your logic would dictate that Embrya is worse than Urban Hang Suite. Yes, that's correct. MY COUSIN WORKS IN A PHARMACY AND SHE SAID THEY ENEMA'D PRANCE INTO OBLIVION WITH FENTONILS!! | |

iTunes has the hidden pre-track 1 listed and for sale.
most of my cd players wouldn't rewind to that part of the song | |

 OMG, that song there is sooo beautifully sung. I also like Maybe You and Until We Become The Sun. | |

pzlyprk said: My favorite Maxwell album, period. Don't care what others say about Urban Hang Suite, Now or BLACKsummersnight (not that I dislike those). There's something about the vibe on Embrya (and the obscure lyrics). Luxury: Cococure is my favorite on that album... pure groove bliss.
Really? Urban Hang Suite had some really good songs on it too. Ascension, Dance With Me, Sumthin, Sumthin, Whatever, Wherever, Whatever, Lonely's the Only Company..... Maxwell is really talented and very humble too. I love his 106 & Park interview. He didn't realize how much his fans missed him. | |
