I'll make this review short and sweet. Buy this album. Do it now, you're online. Neumero does it again (they're 6 for 6 so far) by unleashing one of the most awe-inspiring comps in a long time. It rivals any and all Souljazz comps, and that's saying something as they are also awesome. In fact, pick a couple of those up too.

Awe-inspiring reggae and funk from Belize,
By Travis Dubya McGee Bickle "elitist duffer" (Texas Quail Hunting Camp) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cult Cargo: Belize City Boil Up (Audio CD)
Who knew they had such a vibrant and vital music scene in Belize? Apparently the folks at Numero Group, a reissue label with a knack for unearthing piquant, previously unreleased or underheard treasures....The soulful funk and rootsy reggae on parade here will enliven any party, shake rafters and, inevitably have your neighbors calling the cops...hard not to crank it up when it gets on the good foot like this... Bonus: has the best version of "Theme from the Godfather" you'll ever hear!

Stylistically diverse enough to encompass Latin, reggae, funk and burnin' soul, this is still tight enough to be thematic. The theme is temperature. No soft soul a la the Dells and so on. I remember the old Duke records various artists package called "Like 'Er Red Hot" (sadly never reissued on CD). That title would be pretty valid here, not that "Belize City Boil Up" misses the point."Can't Go Halfway" and "Shame Shame Shame" are my favorite cuts, but they have plenty of competition. We also get here a lyrically truncated version of the O'Jays "Backstabber," just a few of the words, but no shortchange on the revved up instrumental section. And Nadia Cattouse makes a nice contribution as the lone female vocalist; here again, within the overall theme. I love the way Numero Uno handles the cover art of their comps; nice live shots of roots musicians enjoying their craft.

The album does not live up to the "hype". It's the kind of album you buy on vacation then go home, put it in your cd rack and never pull it out again. Don't get me wrong, it isn't bad; in fact the musicianship is very, very good. But unique it isn't.
