Welcome
to TYDmusic.com's
Listening Center.
Here you will find tracks that to me, are pure 'Rare
Grooves'
in every sense of the word. I would of liked to put the entire songs themselves
but due to bandwidth restrictions and the size of the flies, I thought
it would be better to just put samples of them. To listen, simply click
on the track you'd like to hear. Each track is roughly between 30 seconds
to 1 minute long. You
will need IE 6.0 and a 'Media
Player'
to listen to the tracks.
