The Best of P.M. Dawn (2012)

Little in contemporary hip-hop can match the succulent splendor of ''The Ways of the Wind'' and ''Set Adrift on Memory Bliss.'' Even if their later attempts at harder grooves didn't always work, P.M. Dawn were the missing link between Johnny Mathis and Jay-Z. It's hard to imagine many current rappers throwing themselves into syncopated love songs with titles like ''Sometimes I Miss You So Much.'' The album is enough to make anyone long for the '90s.
