Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: urban mellow cool Comment: St. Germain is awesome. This album is more mellow than their next. Worth a spin on a mellow evening with cocktails. Customer Rating: Summary: Not very creative. Comment: This album was a bit disappointing. I listen to a lot of jazz, blues and electronica but I call this Musak (aural wallpaper). Spend your money instead on Glide by New York Eletric Piano or the new Metheny Mehldau album. Customer Rating: Summary: a very cool CD for very uncool people. Comment: Everytime music comes up as a subject in my dull conversations with pathetically blind people they always have to say that they like electronic music and jazz (actually they always say that they like all music generes, and eveyone knows everything is nothing) and when i ask who? they will always reply (in 98% of the cases) Ella Fitzgerald and St. Germain. Now Ella I happen to like (in addition to many other jazz vocalists) but St. Germain's CD Boulevard is Just....Well.....PLAIN BOOoooORING. My advice to those palin misguided geeks zombified by the media who enjoy the most predictible execution of this "relaxing blend" of cool jazz and house as a work of art to mention every time the words jazz and electeronica come to mind is GET INTERESTED! I PITTY YOU! MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT MUSIC! There are many great jazz artists out there! and a long list of electronic artists that make Air and St Germain sound like a commercial for hair conditioner. Customer Rating: Summary: THE FIRST SHOT FIRED IN THE NEW COOL Comment: This is the hippest, coolest, jazziest of the 21st century. A new genre of jazz, HOUSE JAZZ. Chillin jazz is right here for your listening and laid back pleasure. This is chill music jazz. The songs are hypnotic beats, very underplayed, with full jszz improvisation. This is not light jazz, believe me. It's jazz over house beats. One song even starts off paying tribute to the world wide DJ's of house. It is jazz, house, dub. That's the best way to define what this listen is. If you're a bebop purist, stay away. But if you really understand jazz this is your place to be. Jazz is about innovation and improvisation. New stuff. Let's leave the past behind. Always moving ahead. Miles would be proud. The first shot fired in the 21st. century cool revolution. Customer Rating: Summary: Dull Comment: There are three good songs on this album: Deep In It, Street Scene, and Forget It. The rest of the tracks are filler. Alabama Blues is a good disco song, but it doesn't fit in with the rest of the slow-cool-jazz-groove thing on the rest of the disc. Buy TOURIST instead. More Reviews
