With albums like LIFE'S AQUARIUM, Mint Condition helped secure its place as one of the most seasoned R&B acts of the '90s. This set is laced with precision arrangements, state-of-the-art production techniques, and most importantly, excellent songs. Tracks like "Who Can You Trust," "Spanish Eyes," and "Touch That Body" are fine examples of what makes the group tick.
Mint Condition is completely self-sufficient, producing and writing as a collective team. The group lent LIFE'S AQUARIUM a mellow mood, with mid-tempo tracks laced with pleasant harmonies. There's also enough of a funky sensibility to shine through the mix without overpowering more subtle elements. The best efforts here include "Is This Pain or Pleasure," "Be Like That Sometimes," and "Pretty Lady," which features Charlie Wilson of the Gap Band.
