If u ever get a chance, you should check out Maxwell hidden tracks, I guess there like his bootleg, just like Prince, the tracks are better then the ones that was released on the album. Anyways here are a few I've been listening 2 so far...

Softly, Softly feat sweet back-
Is a amazing song, I love it from the first time I heard it, this is the reason why Maxwell is so amazing, this is what soul music is about baby.

Segera- is a tango piece with a souful twist, but like always, Maxwell know's how 2 werk it.

This woman's work (spanish version)- Same as the classic remake of This Woman's Work, just song in spanish, beautifully done.

if u rewind the first track on Embryo.. there is like a two minute hidden track as an intro.. but its really hard to do because most cd players wont recognize it

softly,softly is on the sweetback album,which is a great record.i am disappointed they haven't released another.yes,i know they ares ade's band and they do max's music,too,but dayum. segera is on red,hot,and rio...a great cd!!

Of course don't forget the singles: "Fortunate", "Let's Not Play The Game" and "As My Girl"- slap them together with these three and add "Love Jones" and the spanish version of "Whenever..." to it and you have yourself a pretty damn good Maxwell CD-R of rarities.



But what do you mean by "hidden"? A hidden track is like "Wasted Kisses" at the end of "Newpower Soul". A non-album track is a non-album track, but is not hidden from anyone and certainly not a bootleg.

besides softly,softly, they were never officaily released as a single.

As mentioned Gestation:Mythos on Embrya and TTCKK interlude at the end of Urban Hang Suite are the only true 'hidden' the tracks.


The others mentioned are great non-album tracks though.

But has anyone heard The Urban Theme uncut from UHS or even better Maxwell's radio show from Amsterdam '97? Don't forget the TTCCK Opus extended tracks from his first single!

Mmmm...
