Despite what another reviewer wrote I am pleased this did not include "township beats", if I wanted to hear people rapping tsotsi to the beats being banged out on pots and pans with forks I would have bought a mediocre tribal release. This CD is actually pretty low key/ loungy cool....just like Cape Town is. It is a cool mixture of funk, house, disco, and Euro electronica. South Africa is a mixture of people and this CD reflects that. This CD is great chill out and pretty reflective of the Cape Town scene--chilled, cool, beautiful, a little funky, and relaxed. The CD is marketed to the South African well heeled, modern, jet set crowd....... If you want cool multicultural lounge music get this CD....if you want bush (township)music contact National Geographic.

After dark Cape Town is out of this world... Little jazz, house, deep trance wrapped up in one. If you haven't purchase it, or heard of it. Now, the time to get your copy before it too late. I try the "Revisited" versions and was totally blown away. I can't wait till more "Revisited" copies come out.

Disappointed... I was hoping to hear some degree of the Township beats mixed in. Nada... this is as Euro sounding and stale as it gets. In the past the Afterdark series did an excellent job of capturing the host city's influence... they missed the mark on this release.
