Title: Not just more of the same
Product review: It sometimes seems as if every last drop of marketability has been wrung out of BVSC, what with a book of the movie and "BVSC"-tied-in albums of varying quality (some excellent!) by the soloists. (Me, I'm waiting for a BVSC-edition Palm handheld.) But the design of this CD box jumped out at the record store ... for its lack of anyone puffing on a stogie, or similar; it *looks* like a cross between a theremin album and a scene from *The Cabinet of Dr Caligari*. So I gave it a spin and I was hooked. Parts definitely old Cuban, parts that are new and refreshingly rootless; and it all hangs together and works. Excellent, and it's now one of my most-played albums.Only four stars rather than five, though, because over twenty more minutes worth could have, and at least ten more minutes should have, been stuffed in. Oh well, if I want more I'll just have to buy the man's second album -- as I shall, in a flash.
