5.0 out of 5 stars The rebirth keeps getting better. My Favorite, July 28, 2000

By 

"williedynamite" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Rebirth of Cool: Four (Audio CD)

Most of the music from the rebirth series have been jazz based, (so to speak) vol. 4 is decidedly club based. Many of the songs on this CD have a very club/trance like sound. But the music is exceptional. From begingin to end the tracks on this CD are all excellentListening to this Cd made me seek out the music by the individual arts. The sultry Underwater love starts vol. 4 off on a strong note. The music actually makes you feel as though you are under water. Another track that really stands out is the magnificent To Forgive or Forget. I never heard a violin used in club music. Cottonwol is another absolutely splendid track with its' distorted vocals and space age sound effects. Other strong cuts are Migration, Ponteio, who could it be now and my personal favorite Bittersweet. Well worth it for the adventerous listener.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like taking a bath without any water..., January 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rebirth of Cool: Four (Audio CD)

This CD has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. My friend Woobie and I think that song #5 ("Cottonwool" by Lamb) is best appreciated after a long and eventful night on the town. Definitely one of the best kept secrets in music. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth, July 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rebirth of Cool: Four (Audio CD)

This CD could just as well be called 'Rebirth of Smooth'.

This is indeed an amazing album and I'm glad to see that it is finnaly easier to find then it has been in the past.

If you like smooth jazz, Acid Jazz, and songs with great Rythym, You will probably love this album, in fact I have yet to meet anyone who has heard my copy without falling in love!

The bigest suprise has been how so many diferent musical types seem to like it as well. I was introduced to this album by a friend who into Hard Techno, Drum and Base, and Jungle, all of which I really can't get into, being more into old school Deep House, and slow mellow beats, and yet we both love this album.

There are 15 tracks on this album, all done by Quite diferent artists. A personal favorite is track 5 by Lamb called 'Cotton Wool'. They have an album of their own which includes a diferent version of the same song.

So I guess what I'm saying is go ahead and buy it, you will probably like it!
