I like this song personally, but it wasn't the SalSoul Orcherstra's best work. They were on the decline. It didn't have the magic of all the earlier classics. I mean I played the song for a while, it didn't do bad, but it wasn't a requested song, and sometimes it cost me dancers. HOW HIGH was out in various forms or another by several other artists. It created an over-exposure to the song HOW HIGH, so maybe the SalSoul Orchestra was hurt by a poor CHOICE instead of by any musical or technical deficiency. You have to understand, that THE VYNIL JUNKIE was a magazine published in the mid-eighties that reviewed new releases. Many hated me, because I was always brutally honest in a review. That won't change here. Every record I review will simply be from experience. HOW HIGH by the SalSoul Orchestra gets a weak 5 on my scale of 1-10.
