The two singles "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm...." certainly do the trick. They are powerful dance-pop tracks with a serious hip-hop trunk deep enough to support (almost) the rest of the album, which is a bit of a motivational cool-down. The singles will pack the dance floor, and although the rest of the tracks won't clear it entirely, this album does prove to be unbalanced in the get-up-on-your-feet department. --Beth Bessmer

Customer Reviews

BRINGS BACK SOME EARLY '90S MEMORIES!
Remember C+C Music Factory?
Well,if you don't,I'll do a quick little refresher.Robert Clivalles and the late David Cole were the hottest producing team in late '80s dance music.Janet Jackson,Natalie Cole,Fleetwood Mac,among others got remixes from them and in 1990,they produced a hit album for the long-gone(and long out-of-print) girl group Seduction(remember "Two To Make It Right"-that was them!).Around that time,the two decided to become a peforming unit with two of their discoveries(an attractive Liberian girl named Zelma Davis and a Brooklyn-born rapper named
Freedom Williams).

Since the two producers(Clivelles & Cole) weren't proper singers or dancers,they recriuted Davis to sing and Freedom to rap.

OK,you got everything now? Good.

C+C Music Factory released their debut,"Gonna Make You Sweat" in
1990 and the album and C+C were huge.
Now,I bet,everyone has heard the ubiqtious title track before
or the percolating spunk of "Things That Make You Go Hmm" but there's more here that well..."makes you sweat".

The "Gonna Make You Sweat"-sound-a-like "Here We Go(Let's Rock & Roll)" was a Top 5 hit in '91 and boy,does it get you moving!
If I was an excerise instructor,this song would be played non-stop during our workouts! The reggae-tinged "Ooh Baby" is another winner.On this cut,we hear the vocals of,get this,David Cole.The beat on "Ooh Baby" is a slighty slowed down house tempo but still makes you move.This should've been a single,if you ask me.

As you probably can tell,I really miss the '90s(especially the
early-to-mid) and C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat"
brings back several memories of the period.
So,almost 11 years later,what happened to C+C Music Factory?

Well,unfortanly David Cole passed away in 1995(R.I.P.) while Robert C. still actively produces(he produced Aretha Franklin's
1993 club hit "A Deeper Love").As far as I know,Zelma is M.I.A.
and so is Freedom(speaking of Freedom,he released a self-titled
solo album on Columbia in 1993).
WOW...C+C were hot back in the day and they were better than the other faceless Euro-dance acts that coughed up some pop hits in the early 9-0s(Snap!,Technotronic,The K.L.F.,Black Box,etc.).

But whatever C+C's former members are up to now,"Gonna Make You Sweat" is going to make you do just that-SWEAT!

Early 90's R&B/Dance-Pop
This music is still good! It is more in the style of Dance-Pop with R&B flavour of the time. Most of the songs feature the vocal stylings of Martha Wash. It holds up well compared to the atrocious Trance music. Overall if you like any Euro-Dance or Dance-Pop artist or group from the 80's or 90's, you'll like this.

C+C - the emperors of dance music !
C+C,along with SNAP (they're back!) and TECHNOTRONIC revolutionized house/dance music with powerful groove that makes you move,beats that make you freak out and go from side to side,and gospel vocals that lift you up and make you chant.C+C rocked all the 5 continents,got all the prizes,praise,respect it deserves.It brought dance music to a new level,made it commercial,pop,likeable and most of all respected.Clivillés & Cole(what a pity he passed away- dance music will never be he same) spawned a good number of albums,compilations (ministry of sound v.3,for example) and CD singles(I'm lucky I own all of them), nice video clips and remixed other artists'works like no other dj/producer at that time did.This is C+C music factory - undoubtedly one of the best things dance music has got to offer.This is C+C's first album,but not their first work.This album is an excellent sample of C+C is all about.Listen carefully to every track and then admit : C+C is the cornerstone of intelligent and masterfully produced dance music.
