		<description><![CDATA[Soul Boulders 2 has arrived, and it more than lives up to my ridiculously high expectations. As defined on the original mix&#8217;s packaging, Soul Boulders are slow, funky soul burners. Volume 2 hews closely to that theme, and incorporates some slightly left-of center &#8216;real-people&#8217; moments that keep the listening experience lively.
