At midnight the dancefloor is packed, the body's sweaty, and music is blasting out of the sound system. And if it's Latin music moving the crowd, it must be the irresistible sound of salsa, although must of it with a distinctly Cuban twist. But whatever the style, be it northeastern Brazilian forro from Saldanha Rolim or Latin soul from Alex Wilson, the beats never stop, multi-layered and vibrant. This is music to move the feet, and closing with Rubén Rodríguez's "Soledad Macias" and Spainy & Trutty's Brazilian rapping on "Alpahaville E a Favela" is inspired sequencing, ending on a gorgeous high. The truth is that, with artists like Marcos Cunha and Elio Revé, Jr., there's not a misstep on this disc. Even if you're listening at home you'll be moving around the living room like tomorrow doesn't exist. As close to perfect as you'll find in a Latin dance compilation -- rootsy, melodic, and sparkling. ~ Chris Nickson

Cafe Cantante: 12 Am CD music
$11.95 After a five-year gap, the follow-up to 1998's lauded MEZZANINE finds Massive Attack picking up right where they left off, as though no time had passed at all. The trademark mix of downtempo electronica, slithery trip-hop, darkly ambient atmospherics, and spacious dub production touches is still strongly in place, and this time around Sinead O'Connor fills the dreamy-chanteuse role ...
| | Emma Shapplin Carmine Meo CD (1997)
Cafe Cantante: 12 Am music CDs
$10.49 CARMINE MEO is a pop-classical hybrid by opera singer Emma Shapplin.
Every year or two somebody from the classical world gets the bright idea to record a classical album with a little something extra for the groundlings: some percussion, some sound effects, maybe some strings. Sometimes the result is insulting, sometimes it's just gilding the lily, and sometimes it works. Carmine Meo, however, sidesteps this problematic phenomenon altogether by making up its own classical music and then turning it into pop. That's right, most of the numbers on the album, even though they sound like lush, romantic arias, are originals.
And despite the disheveled-hair packaging of Emma Shapplin and the truly bad poem she contributes to the liner notes, it works. Why? Because Shapplin, notwithstanding her less-than-opera-caliber voice, sings with absolute conviction, and because ...
