Café Del Mar's Volume 5 (recently released for the first time in the U.S.) oozes warm, fuzzy, and thoroughly provocative trip-hop laced tuneage sans the shadow of conventional electronica. As is the way with the Del Mar catalog, a true gem sits amid the collection waiting to be discovered. In this case, it is the superb "Les Negresses Vertes" from Face a la Mer (a.k.a. a Nick Warren project from the early 1990s) given a thoroughly good dubbing by the great Massive Attack. Only the KLF-like spatial dreamweaving of Lamb's "Transfatty Acid (Kruder & Dorfmeister remix edit)" comes close to bettering it.

Elsewhere, Levitation's "More Than Ever People" is pure orange sunsets on shimmering waves, the warmth of its backbeat adding sensuality, while the retro-disco of French act Ame Strong's "Tout Est Bleu" has the rounded curves of bottom-end as opposed to the sharpened corner of dancefloor disco. Overall, the way to enjoy Volume 5 is to adhere to cliché No. 177 (the sum is stronger than individual parts), dim the lights, find some romantic company, and let the music do the talking. --Steffan Chirazi

3 out of 5 stars Not Bad.......2007-07-12

Volume 5 isn't a bad mix, but is definitely not the finest of the Cafe Del Mar series. Volumes 4, 6 and 7 are far more relaxing and have better flow than this volume. Nonetheless, not bad for background music if you are entertaining and not intently listening to the album.

4 out of 5 stars Chill.......2007-05-12

Bought this on a whim, actually it was one of the suggested picks from amazon. I put it on but never really listen to it. Definitely background music. Its got like weird orchestral and indian stuff going on, but its good. I like Talk with Myself.

3 out of 5 stars the series did get abit tired..........2006-06-05

One of my favourite tracks ever from the series is the last track on Volumen Ocho, Plum Crazy by Celestial. And if you like that sound, then you'll love the albums from Hong Kong's Celestial. Check them out, they are titled:

Hong Kong Dub Station
Happy Valley
Spirit House

it's a deeper dubbier sound that most of Cafe Del Mar, more real instruments, and more space...

5 out of 5 stars My favorite Cafe del Mar so far!.......2006-01-06

I'm not sure if I can articulate how amazing this cd is. It really grooves and flows. The beats are more lively than some of the other volumes, but this is exactly what I have been looking for! The other Cafe del Mar's have taken a few listens before I really liked it, but I got into this one immediately. I try to work while listening to this and all of sudden I just get caught up in the grooves and forget about work. I am also a big fan of volume 7, but volume 5 doesn't have the prominent vocals of v.7 (not that either is bad or good- they are just different).

3 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2005-10-16

There are a few tracks that I really enjoyed, but on the whole I was disappointed with the CD.

4 out of 5 stars not so bad at all.......2007-04-18

Hypnotic, dreamy but not as laid back as the 12th installment... but the series is more mature these days on applying more on the acoustic side rather than the electronic effects

5 out of 5 stars Good offering.......2007-01-28

The chances are that if you are reading this you are already familiar with the Cafe del Mar series. Now you are wondering if it is worth spending the $ to further expand your ever-growing collection in this chill-out genre. Well - it is. This is a very good one.

5 out of 5 stars Good music.......2006-10-06

I bought the whole album because I fell in love with the very first song ('Heading for the Sunrise')when I heard it in a Greek beach bar. I simply loved it. Both CDs are great, but the second one I replayed three times in a row. Most of the songs have incredible orchestration and really sweet vocals, the songs are all well sang. Amazingly relaxing album, would definitely recommend.

Cafe Tacuba have a kind of childish mood that may bother some people. If there is a basic story in their lyrics is about the problem of love among younsters, the simple desire for dance, and the weird aspects of love and reality. However, their strenght is their high quality as musicians. Mainly, what should be stressed is both their high capacity for styles mixture and their highly creative covers. They jump from "ranchera" to ska, or reagge , or trash , or disco. Their covers of "Ojalá que llueva café" (Juan Luis Guerra), "No controles" (Mecano) or "Cómo te extraño" (Leo Dan) demonstrate both their creativity and exploration over different kind of music. Tiempo transcurrido is probably the best example of all their "chamaleonistic" capacity. Undoubtely, one of the best recopilation in the rock en español era.

5 out of 5 stars THE GREATEST BAND OF THIS CENTURY!!!.......2002-12-31

I hate greatest hit albums, but whatever you end up buying of Cafe Tacuba, I GUARANTEE, you will not be dissapointed. I prefer getting each album by itself because only they know why they set them up the way they did, but if you'd like to get a taste of their flavor then a greatest hits is the way to go.

I'm a very picky musician, but Cafe Tacuba set me straight and made me an addict. I bought the album "RE" about 3 weeks ago, i listen to it EVERY ... DAY!!! and up to now, i have not got tired of it. I recommend anything that the Tacubos put their hands on. PEACE!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Revolutionary.......2005-05-06

This is considered by many as Café Tacvba's best album ever, a statement in which I definitely agree.

It is quite difficult to define what this album represents, it shows definitely an evolution, and even though the lyrics' formula is basically the same as in the first album (topics regarding the Mexican culture that go from being for a while in the subway of Mexico city to the old customs of the `Tlatoanis') what made this album so compelling was the wide variety of musical styles that the band decided to include for this work.

During this album we could see where the band was going, Emmanuel started to sing (a pretty cool slam song entitled `El borrego'), the vocalist started to change names (he was known as `Cosme' for this album) and the musical direction they took was vast.

`La ingrata' is nothing but a traditional Mexican song about relationships the Mexican way, `El ciclon' is a song reminiscent of the old progressive rock bands, `Esa noche' a very beautiful ballad about a love long lost.

The 20 tracks included in this album are just unbelievable, every song is different to the other and there is not a single musical style in which to catalogue this album. They attempted several styles and succeeded in all. I can guarantee you that this album will not disappoint but the opposite, everything in this album is just so well done, from the graphic design in the inside booklet to the contents of the cd.

This is a musical jewel that must be part of every music lover collection, regardless of the type of music you like, this album has 20 most enjoyable songs. This album was released in 1994 and I still remember me listening to it all the time in my walkman, a couple of years ago I found it on CD and didn't hesitate to buy it, more that 10 years have passed and this is an album through which years won't pass. A must for music collectors.

5 out of 5 stars Demo of what a great band does.......2004-08-23

This CD is awesome, it makes you think, sing, and dance, all in a smart way. Unlike many songs out there, every song from Re has something interesting to say, accompanied with the sound that characterizes Cafe tacvba for incorporating traditional mexican music with that of their own. The CD has good lyrics, and makes its listening very enjoyable.I definitely recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Simplemente lo mejor.......2004-06-25

Sin duda este disco fusiona el folclor y música típica mexicana, rock y pop. Un gran clásico imperdible para los amates de la música.

5 out of 5 stars ElFeGo FaN.......2004-03-21

If you are a Cafeta fan, you'll really like this cd. This cd has a big range of variety in the moods, styles, rhythms, and everything. You realy can't get bored with this cd. Some of the best songs (to me) is Fin de infancia, Esa Noche, and La Pinta...but like i said, all of them are awesome. If you like this cd, i highly recommend that you check out their other cds like cuatro caminos, valle campana, and tiempo transcurrido. Yeah, what else can i say....they rock. Elfego rocks!!!! aweeee man!!!

5 out of 5 stars Addictive.......2004-02-27

Re by Cafe Tacuba is one of those albums you hear is good from a friend. So you buy it, put it in your cd player, and the first time you hear it it seems odd - like nothing you've heard before. It's Mexican pop music, for sure, but somehow it's deeper, richer and more inventive than you ever might have expected. You decide to leave it in your player and listen to it a few more times, to fully understand it. Before you know it, a week has gone by and you're humming the melodies to Re in the street, and it's not boring to put it on when you get back. It's got so much to keep you in thrall: beatlesque/XTC/radioheadesque pop, mexican guitars, ska, death metal, el mariachi, etc. etc. etc.

After a few weeks you take the disc out of your player and put it on a shelf, but the sounds will always be with you. Those sounds will always bring back the moments of your life when you first purchased Re. It's THAT good of an album.

So, I'm telling you now. Re is a good album, you should pick it up and give it a listen - and let a new season of your life begin.

5 out of 5 stars Great album for a wonderful cause!.......2006-07-25

I loved the original edition of "Red Hot & Latin" when it came out 10 years ago, but the new re-issue track is even better! Highlights include the new bonus tracks from Brazilian Girls/Kevin Johansen, Kinky, Nortec Collective, and Thievery Corporation....but the older material also holds up quite well.
I still think that Fishbone and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs' collaboration on "What's New Pussycat" is such a blast - those guys should tour together again some time!

This album was truly groundbreaking when it first came out - there were bilingual collaborations from many acts, WAY before this was commonplace. Any fan of Latin, world, or alternative music needs to own this album.....plus, all the proceeds go to fight HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the U.S. Latino community, so it's for a worthy cause.

5 out of 5 stars Havana Cafe - A Great Place To Hang Out.......2004-06-26

"Havana Cafe" was my introduction to Paquito D'Rivera's music in a small band setting. On this set D'Rivera plays alto and soprano sax, plus clarinet backed up by piano, guitar, bass, drums and percussion. The title track by musical director Danilo Perez opens the recording with a funky riff from the low end of the piano before breaking into a bright and upbeat melody; D'Rivera's alto sax solo is appropriately buoyant throughout. Guitarist Ed Cherry contributes "Jean Pauline", a smoothly grooving cha cha, and guitarist Fareed Haque brings his own "The Search", an exploratory piece of music. Two short tracks show off D'Rivera's considerable compositional skills: "Improvalsation", a duet for acoustic guitar and clarinet, and "Contradanza", a solo clarinet piece. These two works blur the lines between jazz, Latin and chamber music so effectively that trying to classify the them into any genre is futile. The highlight of "Havana Cafe" is the track "Who's Smoking?" a quick-paced bop number written by D'Rivera and featuring some excellent soloing from Ed Cherry. Although "Who's Smoking?" is dedicated to James Moody, D'Rivera is the one doing the smoking - his alto work on this track is, well, smoking. This is a killer set.

5 out of 5 stars Great Latin Jazz Ensamble.......1999-06-04

This is my favorate D'Rivera CD -- so far. The combo is one of the best he has led. The musicianship is outstanding, and great tunes. Paquito is never "far out" but instead very accessible.

5 out of 5 stars The best of latin music through Domingo's voice.......1999-08-10

This CD goes wherever I go, it is with no doubt, the queen of my collection. Medleys are wonderfully orchestrated and arranged and every song makes you travel anywhere between Mexico and Buenos Aires. Here, Domingo's voice is more like a musical instrument than anything else and each song you'll discover a new instrument. Honestly, I would personally award it six stars.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Latin American tunes beautifully sung and produced,.......1998-12-11

Domingo's love for traditional Latin American music shines throughout this CD. A selection of great "standards", beautifully arranged and recorded by one of the world's great voices. "De Mexico a Buenos Aires," written by Domingo's son is the one original song on the recording and is one of many highlights here. I have listenned to this CD countless times over the past two years and it remains a delight.

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-11-08

    This is easily the best of the 3 Dreams CD's, with the vol. 4 that is just coming out around now tying it for first... I am not a great CDM fan, even though I enjoy trheir music in general, but this cd just blew me off since the moment I heard Bliss, Rue de Soleil, Buffal Sanchez... Long story short, I listen to this CD at least once a week, usually much more often than that.

    Cafe Tacuba come straight out of Mexico City with a spicy blend of rock en Espanol, with Jamaican ska/reggae and African-American hip-hop sonic seasonings. And unlike their counterparts, they've managed to keep the critics, record companies, and their fans happy. This CD, which translates as Four Ways, is their first full release since 1999. Lead guitarist/vocalist Elfego Buendía, keyboardist Emmanuel Del Real, bassist Enrique Rangel and guitarist Joselo Rangel--along with R.E.M. and Beck percussionists Victor Indrizio and Joey Waronker--deliver a more raw, stripped-down sound compared to their critically acclaimed recordings Re and Avalancha de Éxitos. Their long-time producer Gustavo Santaolalla is at the helm, but on this go- 'round, the quartet also works with producers Dave Fridmann and Andrew Weiss, who both manned the boards for the bands, Ween, Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. From the high-powered video/single "Eo (el sonidero)" and "¿Qué pasará?" with special guest vocalist Rubén Albarrán (a.k.a. Elfego Buendía), to the philosophical "Mediodía," these tracks show that Cafe Tacuba is moving away from their alternative phase into a mature, Steely Dan type of mainstream sound. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

    4 out of 5 stars New direction for Cafe Tacvba.......2006-07-10

    I own the other Cafe Tacvba albums (with exception of the "Revés/Yo soy") You know, with this band you'll have a diferent taste for every album, which I think is a great thing because they're always innovating with sounds and blending different styles in one cohesive mix. Prove of this is the "Re" album, an excelent mixture of rock, mexican rythms, boleros and even speed metal.

    The good news is that this album is still different and innovative: Electronic samples and textures have been added to some tracks, giving a new and fresh sound to the songs of this band (like on "Encantamiento inútil", "Desperté")But we also have the "classic" Tacvba sound in gems like "Tomar el fresco", "Qué pasará", and "Eres" and the frenetic "Eo". But my favorite track here is the dreamy "Mediodía".

    I only comlain about some "fillers" on this record (last two tracks and "Recuerdo prestado") I could've been better without these tracks, makig "Cuatro caminos" a solid and perfect production.

    Just one little thing, this special edition come with a nice cardboard packaging. Hope this information will be helpfull.

    If you're not much in love with spanish rock, listen to the samples and give the album a chance.
    Cafe Tacvba fans, get a copy, this is a must!

    5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2006-03-20

    If you want to find a great spanish speaking band this is it. Cafe Tacuba is amazing and interesting. The styles are diverse and ever growing and provide a wide range of enjoyablilty. I reccomend this to everyone.

    3 out of 5 stars Not too good anymore.......2005-04-05

    'Eres' is a bit too cheesy!!! This CD is not very interesting, look for their other CD's, it's been downhill since 'RE'.

    4 out of 5 stars Not bad!.......2004-07-24

    I hadn't heard much of Cafe Tacuba before I picked up this cd, which had a sticker on it with a blurb comparing it to Radiohead's "OK Computer". Doesn't sound like Radiohead at all to me, but it's still really interesting and innovative. I have absolutely no idea what they're saying because I don't speak Spanish, but the music transcends that. It's upbeat, strange, and beautiful. If you want something that's a little different and fun, this is a good choice. Also, the song "Eres" is very pretty.

    5 out of 5 stars Question/Pregunta.......2004-06-30

    Could someone please tell what the label "limited edition" stands for (special packaging, extra tracks....)
    thank you very much!

    Alguien sería tan amable de decirme en qué consiste la "edición limitada" (packaging especial, bonus tracks, etc.)
    Muchas gracias.
