4.0 out of 5 stars You'll probably wear it out., January 25, 2003

This is my 5 star album of 1996. Now, I basically hate it. It's SO catchy and danceable that one cannot resist the temptation to play it out through extreme overuse. I mean, I played it at parties, in my car, for friends, for strangers, in my walkman, high, drunk, sober, I transcribed the parts I could on guitar and basically reinvented my whole personal aesthetic around this album. Picture Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter jamming with James Brown, and "Rhythm of the Saints" era Paul Simon, with a smooth Brazillian Samba/Forro singer, and you sort of get the picture. It works as musician's music, dance music, make-out music, background conversation music, and on and on. It's just that eventually you will get SICK of it. Still, I have no regrets whatsoever. Highly recommended!
