| | Cleopatra Cafe CD
TimeZone's somewhat confusingly named Cleopatra Cafe collects Latin, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dance-pop, including Shad's "Habibi," Kiko Menendez's "Me Gustas TV," and Trio Mafua's "Incompatibilidad de Genios." While this combination of styles might seem incongruous on paper, it works surprisingly well in practice, with the rhythms and melodies of each track complementing the others. Luc Cherki's "Ectah Ya Mahboul," Ragheb Alama's "Ahle Nar," and Gulseren's "Ruya" fall closer to the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean end of the spectrum, while Christian Reyes' "Que Locura," Barabba's "Corazon Espinado," and Chocolate's "Loreley" represent the Latin side of the collection. Another highlight is los Fernandos' gypsy-fied cover of "Hotel California," which adds another interesting twist to the collection. While the genre and style-bending on Cleopatra Cafe might frustrate some purists, on the whole it's a festive collection of pan-cultural party music. ~ Heather Phares

Functioning as something of a replacement for the 2001 collection Their Greatest Hits: The Record, The Ultimate Bee Gees covers much of the same ground as that double-disc set, albeit in not quite so linear a fashion. The Record marched through its 40 tracks chronologically, opening with the stately baroque Beatlesque pop of the '60s and then winding through the '70s, whereas this opens with the bright, fabulous blast of "You Should Be Dancing" and remains in their late-'70s heyday for a while before fast-forwarding to such latter-day adult contemporary hits as "One." We don't get to "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" and "I Started a Joke" until halfway ...
| | Isaac Hayes Shaft (Deluxe Edition) CD (1971) Bonus Track; Remastered; Deluxe Edition
Cleopatra Cafe music CDs
$9.75
Despite its codification into our collective pop culture consciousness, Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft" is a highly original composition. It's been remade by Hayes himself for the remade Shaft film, and appropriately kicks off this collection of tunes from the movie by some of R&B's New Jacks.
A diverse selection of artists encompass the collection, from lascivious soul stirrer R. Kelly to the rugged Latin hip-hop of Fulanito, along with many other noteworthy diversions that represent the many flavors of contemporary urban soul. Most of the material focuses on John Shaft's street smarts and bravado, or the film's pimps, hoes, and gangsta imagery. As expected, Southern hip-hop is well represented, with Outkast, Mystikal, and Big Gipp from Goodie Mob contributing. The tracks offer typically gritty observations on street life, over bleak, minor chords and busy percussion. T.I.P. featuring Beanie Sigel offers "2 Glock 9's," one of the soundtrack's most rugged grooves, a minimal, stripped-down drum ...

"Lifetime" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
Rebounding from the slight sophomore lag generated by 1998's EMBRYA, Maxwell's follow-up NOW abandons the neo-soul man's usual M.O. of using a conceptual arc of songs, and instead focuses on individual cuts. Romance remains the main ingredient found in this Brooklyn native's banquet of song, and although he stands firmly in the neo-soul camp of D'Angelo and Erykah, his use of various stylistic nuances once again stamps him as an original item. Twangy country-flavored licks and subtle DJ scratches pop up throughout the lament "Was My Girl," and scratchy rock guitar riffs are sparingly used over the heavy groove of "Temporary Nite." At the centerpiece is a studio version of Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work," a staple of Maxwell's concerts previously showcased on the live 1997 EP UNPLUGGED. Delivered with a crystalline falsetto, delicate ...
