The soulful sounds of Philadelphia native Lady Alma have been in the air for years especially in Philadelphia.   With a voice reminisce of Chaka Kahn and other of the greats of the music this lady brings an upbeat 70's flavor to her music and it's felt worldwide. The Ill Vibe's DJ Statik has mixed some of Alma's best, rarely heard and other hits in A Taste Of.Lady Alma Ill Vibe Mega Mix Vol.1 .   For all those who don't know this lady jams and usually features a crazy accompaniment of sounds from woodwinds, to electric synthesizers to crazy guitars.   This mix is 15 tracks and about 55 minutes and it show Alma range as an artist.   Some of the tracks of note include a version of "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life", "Adore" a racing mix of sounds and lyrics,   "Lift Your Voices", a song that is incredibly important today, a Osunlade/Bugz Mix of "Hold It Down" and "Stop Wasting Time" which features some funky sounds.

Also included on the CD is a short film called A Taste Of Lady Alma, a short film by Mike Dennis.   This film brings Alma to your eyes as a passionate soul survivor.   This is a woman with a passion to perform and make people move.   This film is done very well (I wonder if on a Mac?) and I learned a lot about the lady's drive on this film and it was short but to the point. People featured on the short film include Alma herself, King Britt, Rich Medina, Ursula Rucker, and KC Bajai.  

I'll give the mix and the film 4 globes.   For all those who were ignorant to Alma and her talents this was an eye opener and you have been served with soul and a smile.
