love this cd

ok people, be careful this is "copy protected" BUT BUT BUT you can download it to your iPod (reviewer below must be a caveman!)

Anyway I bought this for the Osunlade disc (jon cutler is good and everything) but bow down to the master behind Yoruba Soul - Osunlade is IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problems on my iPod

Afterdark:NY is loaded into my iTunes and plays on my iPod with no problems.



That aside, I'm really enjoying this disk. I bought this and Bargrooves:Frosted at the same time and both have been in HEAVY iPod rotation the last few weeks. Very inspirational.

The dawning of light music

Even if the title suggests this is a moody, deep type of compilation, it has enough yang to move your soul and booty...it kicks off with a smooth voice, has a nervous drum beat and a simple and cool keyboard in the back, then the rhythm picks up with a great percussion transition for an even jazzier voice. "Alone" has a house like feel to it still with world class vocals. From there on, the rich array of pleasures is ensured on a impeccable tempo: Brazilian beats (the energizing Only you, the marvelous bossa feel of Sintra, Cafe Sol), sexy voices (Wake up my life), a mean bass (Johnick fire), 70's like disco (Pride), clubby hip trends (Fluid, Don't hold back, If you leave now) and other singable tunes (anything from Tortured Soul or Moves). The mark of this album is it's live-like feel of the music played. It has a great balance between the danceable and the audible. It's if you want a "juiced up" lounge/jazz version of what remains in the end a little musical gem that will leave you content with the groove of life.
