Recent Black Grass single Don't Leave Me This Way - a reworking of the song which has previously been a hit for The Communards and Thelma Houston - was something of a nothing, but luckily his new album is all together better.
A Hundred Days In One more than makes up for the disappointment of the mediocre single, from the opening Latino-style drum beats of Lucha Contra De La Injustica all the way through to the smooth and steady Nobody Knows (It's Sunday). In fact, in the middle of this box of delights, even Don't Leave Me This Way starts to sound good, with Dominique Noiret's sultry vocals adding the perfect air of dark mystery to this slowed down, lugubrious take.
Using Hip Hop as his foundations and framework, Black Grass (aka Mex) fills in the gaps with funk, jazz, soul and reggae, helped out by a host of collaborators, including American and home-bred Hip Hop stars such as Maylay Sparks and Micall Parknsun, MC Blu Rum 13 as well as Jah Marnyah and Rider Shafique from the world of reggae.
The result is smooth, relaxing and laid-back, dipping in and out of the musical styles which comprise it from track to track. Nemesis in particular is a highlight, offering a darker, bassier, trancier downtime after the more energetic Lines of Defence which precedes it, the latter complete with military beats, as its title might suggest.
So Many Ways also deserves an honourable mention, helped along by Okou's impressive vocal range, while the back-to-back patter of Blu Rum 13 and Maylay Sparks on Rest Assured and Don't Try respectively also works well.
If fact, what makes the album so much better than the single alone is its structure. All that was wrong with Don't Leave Me This Way was that it had been taken out of its carefully crafted context and, on its own, sounded too slow and forgettable; here, it's a part of a greater whole which speeds up the beats for a couple of tracks then slows them down for the next, offering lyrically dense Hip Hop next to extended instrumentals that give you time to watch the girl, plan your approach, offer her a drink and a dance and then sidle back to the comfy couches for a quick snog before the evening's out.
Mex took to the decks recently at The Big Chill, and this is an album that seems tailor made for a festival with that name. He's next on show at Bestival and amid the sequins and feather boas he could just provide the honey-tinged smooth respite needed at the end of a weekend when the relentless cheeriness of The Scissor Sisters threatens to become just a little bit too much.

This amazing compilation of Son Cubano is "priceless". From Beny More to Cachao to Celia Cruz, the intoxicating sounds speak to the heart and captivate the soul. There are no words to describe the Son experience. The essence of Afro-Cuban music is delivered by this album--an element that is missing from today's "Pop Salsa". I highly recommend "El Son No Ha Muerto: the best of Cuban Son"--You have to hear it to believe it.
Tracklist :
01. Sierra Maestra - Chango Ta'Veni
02. Son 14 - Si Yo Siempre He Sido Son
03. Celina Gonzalez y el Conjunto Campo Alegre - Guateque Campesino
04. Nico Saquito - Maria Cristina
05. Canambu - Para Bailar el Son
06. Cachao - El Son No Ha Muerto
07. Marcelino Guerra - Oye Mi Son
08. Orquesta Aragon - Son al Son
09. Benny More y su Orquesta - Me Gusta Mas el Son
10. Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera - Suavecito
11. Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Pineiro - Ay Que Bueno (Lindo Yambu)
12. Estrellas Areito - Pongase Para las Cosas
13. Grupo Irakere - Bailando Asi
14. Orquesta Maravillas de Florida - Prestame Tu Mujer
15. Roberto Borrell & The Conjunto Tipico Cubano - Son Bacheche
16. Rolo Martinez - Mi Son, Mi Son, Mi Son
