The disc begins with \u201cHidden Treasures\u201d, a deep pulsating groove reminiscent of the early Detroit techno sound. \u201cWindows\u201d is a warm, atmospheric deep dish that\u2019s anchored by the earthy arrangements by Aybee and the vocals of Karen Paige. Another winner is \u201cNo Mystery\u201d featuring Paul Randolph, whose deep vocals are a perfect match for Aybee\u2019s spacey compositions. \u201cLove Of\u201d and \u201cOzzie Davis\u201d are the kind of deep house jazz tracks you\u2019ll love whether you\u2019re on the dance floor or just lounging. \u201cEOSP\u201d is full of funky beats, hip vocals and gorgeous rhythms. This is another quality recording from the Deepblak label that will provide definite satisfaction.<br \/>\n&#8211;<em><strong> Reg Dancy (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catchagroove.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Catchagroove.com<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Written and produced by Armon Bazile (BMI) for Deepblak Recordings 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*01 Co-Written by E.
