Back in the 1980s I was into the more edgy and experimental side of P-Funk, Sly Stone, JB and jazz rock, so led by reading reviews I filed Maze under bland quiet storm tag (not my thing).Maybe things sound different now I'm middle aged, but there are bridges from more challenging black music to Maze. Marvin Gaye chose Maze as a band who could continue his style, and they do with a coasting groove and yearning melodies. I also see some affinities with Earth, Wind and Fire as well as Pat Metheney. Colour Blind has a clear pedigree from Sly Stone / Larry Graham funk, while Southern Girl has a touch of Ohio Players. Look at California is a 3 section suite that switches from gospel to a mellow 60s vibe and then into a Santana style faster tempo Latin jazz excursion. The band are excellent, especially the guitarist who gets to play some tasteful solos.There are a few gloopy ballads that I skip, but only 30% of the tracks.These are more than compensated for by the sublime, gently simmering mid tempo grooves such as Joy and Pain. These really establish the essence of Maze, songs of perseverence and redemption that capture the reality (rather than fantasy) of dealing with relationships. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Musical Treasure *by R***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2014* If you haven't heard of Maze and Frankie Beverly, this is the ideal collection to start with and entice your taste buds to want more. Having had the pleasure of seeing them in concert several times, they are one of the few bands that I can say, hand on heart, sound exactly the same live as they do on disc. The band are so tight musically and Frankie's vocals so silky, it's unreal. Even if this is the only Maze slice of music that you buy, if the opportunity ever arise's to see them in concert, Do it, you won't regret it, and end up singing "Joy and Pain" all the way home.....Bliss! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maze - Essential Collection *by L***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2013* Even though I have Maze tracks on vinyl, I could not resist buying this double CD set. All tracks are full length versions, so very please about that. Have been reminiscing my way back to the 80's, remembering when I attended Maze gig at Hammersmith Apollo (great times). One of the best R&B bands ever to have graced this earth. If you're a fan, this is a must-buy. Definitely recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/95044138-the-essential-collection](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/95044138-the-essential-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
