I do agree that this song is great. I really like their mix of Spanish and
English. Actually, Spanish is incredibly fresh in the electronic music
context where English is dominating (Cypress Hill did a brilliant use this
;-). Is there any other song they did ? Or anything else in the same flavor
?
To me, Rebirth of cool 6 is similar to the previous one in the way that is
a collection of very good and [less] good tracks. I was surprised how the
general feel you get from the album is dependent of the volume level.
Listen to it quietly and you'll get a good chill-out atmospheric album.
Listen to it loudly and the jungle fever will wake up and shake you.
Definitely not the best album of the year but still a good sampler of
what's going on. Worth checking out anyhow.

Hola,
I've recently read some not-so-good posts about the new rebirth of cool. I
don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but the whole album is worth only for
Smoke City's "Underwater love". This song is incredible, kinda brazilian &
english lyrical trip-hop with the GREAT voice of Nina Miranda, in the best
Portishead/Massive Attack tradition...
I have'nt heard anything else in the album, but I must say it again: this
song is veeeery good!
