The label gathered a mix of established funk figures and emerging vocalists to present modern takes on classic funk and R\u0026amp;B. Contributors on the release include artists associated with the NPG roster and collaborators from the wider funk community, creating a varied listening experience. The compilation reflects the label focus on groove driven arrangements, strong horn and bass elements, and soulful vocal performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release collects tracks that emphasize dancefloor friendly rhythms and melodic hooks while highlighting the production aesthetic of the early 1990s Minneapolis scene. The album brings together songs by a range of performers, featuring both original material and collaborations that connect to the legacy of funk and soul. As a label compilation it works as an introduction to the acts involved and as a snapshot of NPG Records output in 1994. The sequencing aims to balance upbeat funk cuts with smoother R\u0026amp;B moments for a cohesive listening flow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1\u003cbr\u003eMinneapolis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMinneapolis\u003cbr\u003e4:27\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2\u003cbr\u003eHollywood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Clinton\u003cbr\u003e4:33\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3\u003cbr\u003eLove Sign\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNona Gaye\u003cbr\u003e4:32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4\u003cbr\u003eIf I Love U Tonight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMayte\u003cbr\u003e4:20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5\u003cbr\u003eColor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Steeles\u003cbr\u003e4:20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6\u003cbr\u003e2gether\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe New Power Generation\u003cbr\u003e5:07\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7\u003cbr\u003eStanding At The Altar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargie Cox\u003cbr\u003e3:55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8\u003cbr\u003eYou Will Be Moved\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMavis Staples\u003cbr\u003e4:12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9\u003cbr\u003e17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMadhouse\u003cbr\u003e5:24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10\u003cbr\u003eA Woman's Gotta Have It\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNona Gaye\u003cbr\u003e4:30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11\u003cbr\u003eMinneapolis Reprise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMinneapolis\u003cbr\u003e0:47\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12\u003cbr\u003eStanding At The Altar (Extended Version)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargie Cox\u003cbr\u003e5:58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13\u003cbr\u003eThe Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Sax Mix)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Artist (Formerly Known As Prince)\u003cbr\u003e4:29\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14\u003cbr\u003eThe Most Beautiful Boy In The World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMayte\u003cbr\u003e4:34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"NPG Records \/ Avex Trax","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51731675480342,"sku":"135876","price":26.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202608171701019567601976ce57.jpg?v=1787011505","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/1-800-new-funk-japan-w-lyric-sheet","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
