4.0 out of 5 stars Mesmiring Smooth Jazz With Live Rhythms, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: After Hours 4 (Audio CD)

When I first decided to buy an "THIS IS ACID JAZZ" compilation album, I didn't know what to think. I mean I own all 4 Jamiroquai albums, 4 Incognito albums & "Shelter" by Brand New Heavies. When I popped this in, my first reaction was "After hours is right! This is way too slow." But when the songs rolled along it was more like "This has some chilled-out rhythms on it." Memorable tracks include Yada Yada's "Summer's End," which ironically is more "Afternoon" rather than "After Hours", and the most optimistic, upbeat track. Jimpster's "Playtime" was pretty smooth, Marschmellow's "Waterfront" had a hypnotizing foreign tinge to it, and 9 Lazy 9's "Electric Lazyland" was off the hook (shades of southern african american hip hop). Although, I still can't grasp the essence of this acid jazz genre, "4" persuaded me that it's pretty good. Get it if you're an acid jazz fan or if you just like smooth jazz sounding music with nice beats/rhythms.

I gave a friend a copy of ONE AD and he gave me a copy of "4." He said if you like that kind of music, you'll like this too. I can't say he was wrong. "4" is relaxing background music. All the tracks are consistently low-key except for track 4, Yada Yada, which is more up tempo and breezier than the others. It is the kind of song you'd like to here driving down the freeway on a warm window-rolled-down day. The CD as whole is subtle and optimistic. Nothing jarring, harsh, or grating. It's great studying and thinking music. It also grows on you. The more I listen to it, the deeper the themes sink in.
