Okay, at this point in the album's lifecycle, a lot of buyers that have made this release so popular have bought it simply to hear "Breathe", which was showcased in a frequently aired car commercial. So it's very likely that a lot of these folks have not received much exposure to chill or trip-hop or electronica acts or to other groups that are difficult to categorize into specific genres. Comparisons to Hooverphonic or Air or Sneaker Pimps or whomever might be lost on many buyers. So let's just talk about the music. Of course, most will be pretty familiar with "Breathe", an excellent number with those weirdly filtered but smoky female vocals. Another version of this song closes out the album (not the fast-paced beat-filled dance version heard on some radio stations or in some clubs). The songs in between are not quite up to this standard of excellence. A couple of them play around with hip-hop notions with mixed success. Several are drenched in a noir atmosphere and sound as if they were pulled from the soundtrack of some lost existential European spy movie from the Sixties. Or perhaps they're updated for a post-modern cyberspace Edith Piaf. (This may or may not float your particular boat.) There's also a lot of interstitial material that comes from the producers just goofing around with samples and little themes and quirky ideas. I have to laugh at one song, "Let's Go Again", which basically sounds as if it was sung by the late Paul Lynde, the embittered and snarky martini-swilling staple of "Hollywood Squares" and various sitcoms from the Seventies. If you dug the song from the commercial and you're not afraid to admit that some of your CD purchases are based on what you hear on TV ads or in Starbucks or the Gap, then this is not at all a bad choice. You won't end up hating most of the rest of the material and you might be prompted to explore similar acts. But if you consider yourself to be a hipster who's in the know, then this will probably miss your mark.
