CD Reviews

Far Cry from Perfection of Earlier Albums

Jeremy Katz | Everywhere | 12/07/2004

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This new "best of" is more like "made for the masses." In recent years, Cafe del Mar has lost the mediterranean veranda with a touch of Spanish sophistication and funky break beat feel. It's more like wanna be 40 year old dinner music, or cheesy "get you in bed" tunes that would make a classy bird run for dear life. One of the tracks takes you back to braveheart and bagpipes, come on! There are a couple of good tracks, but I'd grab one of their earlier albums instead."

Chill, as usual...

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This installment (or should I say 'reinstallment'?) in the "Cafe" series, is, unfortunately, somewhat of a disappointment (but only because I've come to expect great things from the line of "Cafe del Mar").

This selection of tracks is supposed to highlight the various alblums that preceded it, taking the best from each. Unfortunately, the end result sounds somewhat staggered and even random.

One of the best things about a "Cafe" alblum is its seamlessness from one track to the next. If you want to sit down and really feel the vibe of the DJ, it's best to give more than a single track's worth of your attention, and the continuity of the normal (as opposed to "Best of") alblum, facilitates this experience. This is why I think the lounge/electronica CD is definitely most presentable and effective if listened to in its entirety , and not parceled-out via individual songs to "Best of" alblums.

Of course, almost all of these tracks are found on the previous "Cafe" series ablums, and some of them are real gems ("Uischi's Groove" is awesome, and listenable as a single). But if you really want an introduction to "Cafe," and especially a deeper appreciation for it, I would recommend one of the regular series alblums (5 and 6 are my favorites)."
