When a bottle containing a plea for help from a little girl named Penny makes its way to the Rescue Aid Society, a mouse organization in the basement of the United Nations building dedicated to the rescue and well-being of anyone in need, it is up to the brave mouse Miss Bianca and her chosen partner, the shy janitor Bernard to rescue the girl. Searching for clues at her home at Morningside Orphanage in New York City, the two mice discover that the girl has been kidnapped by the evil pawn shop owner Madame Medusa and her companion Mr. Snoops. On the back of Orville the albatross, Miss Bianca and Bernard travel to the terrifyingly gloomy Devils Bayou island where they learn the shocking truth: The innocent young girl is being forced down into a dangerous, dark underground pirates cave where she must find the Devils Eye, the worlds largest diamond and Madame Medusas greatest obsession...

The New Statesman was created in 1913 with the aim of permeating the educated and influential classes with socialist ideas. Its founders were Sidney and Beatrice Webb (later Lord and Lady Passfield), along with Bernard Shaw, and a small but influential group of Fabians. The Webbs' previous publication, The Crusade, had existed to gain support for the Minority Report of the Royal Commission on the Poor Law, and for Beatrice Webb's National Committee for the Prevention of Destitution. However, it had died after less than two years, when it became obvious that no government would swallow the Minority Report whole, with all its socialist implications. The New Statesman was created to fill the gap.

Reminiscent of 1970's soul music and combined with new millennium Hip Hop, Jazz and R&B, Neo-Soul has been steadily conquering clubs and airwaves the world over. It all started in the mid-1990's, when a handful of new artists looked back to more traditional sources of inspiration. Veteran producers and songwriters Josquin des Pres and Bernard Torelli team up here to deliver the definitive Neo Soul experience. A host of top players--Carl Evans on keyboards (Stevie Wonder, Barry White, Fattburger), David Stark on guitar (Rick James, Teena Marie), and numerous others-- heat up this simmering cauldron of construction kits, oozing Hip Hop and R&B at an ethereal level and celebrating soul music's resurgence with over 50 steamy compositions. Whether you're a remixer, DJ, producer, songwriter, rapper, sound designer, or just searching for rich smooth flavored grooves, this collection will enhance your sound library with just the right amount of sweat, longing and passion.
