"having heard a grand love story and his dj kicks i was SEVERELY disappointed with this CD. can it be true that such a mastermind as kid loco really had anything to do with this album? why are there vocals? where are the off-the-wall and bizarre tracks i love him for? is there a whole other kid loco that i have just never heard of? almost every track grated on my hearing.in a nutshell - if you, like me, thought his dj kicks was absolutely amazing, then DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS CD."

"French downtempo master pays Kid Loco tribute to some outstanding influential music, in his addition to the "Another Late Night" series. Loco's mix CD is a wonderful, colorful collection of everything from French acid hip-hop to wild electronica.



Most of these groups are extremely obscure, or at the very least not well known. But Kid Loco starts off with three of the best songs: the Baby Namboos's dark, sultry remix, the tribal-rhythms-and-brass jazz of Herbaliser, and the mellow Gabor Szabo. They aren't even the same type of music, but they flow together as easily as if done by one band/artist.



A brief rock'n'roll interlude follows, but soon it's back to DJ-land. Among the exceptional songs on here is stuff by the funky-trippy-hip-hoppy-jazzy-downtempo Aim, the rippling Departure Lounge, jazzy Underwolves, the bluesy rock of Harvey Mandel, and the babbling monologue of "Street Preacher" by the Troublemakers.



Not a lot of people -- even musicians -- know about bands like the Troublemakers or the Baby Namboos, both of which I am very fond. But when listening to them, it becomes pretty obvious why Kid Loco likes them, and even how they may have influenced his own style.



The music included on here tends to be much like Kid Loco's own stuff: It's complex, layered, usually either electronic or tinged with it, and very offbeat. As a result, it feels like they are all loosely strung together. And they actually seem to flow into one another, with musical styles ranging from jazz to funk to acid hip-hop to pure electronica to psychedelic rock'n'roll.



Obscure tastes rule in Kid Loco's "Another Late Night," which can serve as a blueprint for cool electronic music. Not to mention a sign that this downtempo maestro has excellent taste."

Why cant this guy stop being good!

"I never really hear of kid loco till about 6-7 months ago until i heard his remix of tracy by mogwai. After that i started to listen to some other of his cds like late night tales.etc. After this i realised that he is the best person i have ever listened to and now this album is out kid loco will never stop being good. Even though all his songs are amazing i would have to say that his remix of tracy by mogwai is my favourite. kid loco is brilliant and will always be brilliant as long as he keeps doing wat he is doin now and thats killing it."
