Former George Clinton and Maxwell sideman Amp Fiddler walks his own middle ground on Waltz of a Ghetto Fly. Neither as all-out funkadelic as Clinton or as straight-ahead romantic as Maxwell, Fiddler offers a keyboard-heavy blend of styles that's both airy and rooted in a deep groove. Overdubbing harmonies, he presses his rangy voice to its expressive limits. "Superficial" begins with a rhythm pattern that sounds like Blondie's "Heart of Glass" turned inside out before bursting into a Latin-dance extravaganza. Other tracks benefit from jazz touches, such as the elegant piano solo that highlights "Possibilities." Fiddler's songs are often little more than vamps, but it's this brand of musicality that lights them up. --Rickey Wright

 Soul at its best July 25, 2010

Have had this album for quit a while. I really feel it is Amp's best work. MAKE SURE TO LISTEN TO THE HIDDEN TRACK 'You' at the very end of the CD. That song alone makes this a great masterpeice to have in your collection.

When I listened to Heaven off of his cd titled Afro Strut I knew this artist had that gift. I have enjoyed this cd and look forward to catching up on the past cd's.

This cd is horrible! I thought I heard one of his songs that I liked, but after hearing it, I knew I was wrong. The whole cd is garbage. Don't waste your money.

This is one the best R & B soul albums of the millenium in my opinion. Every song is sophisticated & smart yet simple & smooth. I've heard the instrumental from 'Waltz of a Ghetto Fly' before. It's the hidden end track on Q-Tip's solo album 'Amplified'. Oh...and, speaking of hidden songs the one after 'Waltz' is splendid. Don't forget to fast foward or you'll be missing out.
soooo smooth n sexy August 4, 2006

I struggle to fathom how one album can exude so much sexiness, but 'Waltz of a Ghetto Fly' managfes it.
Amp Fiddler's voice is smoother then Teflon, and this album doesn't dissapoint.
Some stand out tracks include: 'I believe in you','superficial' and 'dreamin'.
If you ever get the opportunity to see the man live, your in for one hell of a suprise.
