And the resident DJ of the famous Hotel Costes certainly knows his stuff, mixing up more funky, uplifting house that powers these predominantly English-sung tracks. The funk-filled beats of Lovetronic's \u003ci\u003eYou Are Love\u003c\/i\u003e is a standout, while \u003ci\u003eCarnaval de Sao Vicente\u003c\/i\u003e sung by Cesaria Evora, is a mood-setting piece worthy of any '70s-styled B-grade film. Occasionally the album careers towards the cheesy end of lounge, as in \u003ci\u003eSymphatique\u003c\/i\u003e, but, otherwise, there's nary a low point. An eclectic mix which maintains a steady groove, Pompougnac continues to find a much sought after balance: music that stands out in its own right and yet makes the perfect backdrop while entertaining friends.

Many of Stéphane Pompougnac's picks revolve around the Thievery Corporation sound (Imada, Gotan Project, Dublex Inc.), serrated breakbeats quietly slamming into intelligible jazz and emphasis-free house music. Early on, there's little beating the Method's \u003ci\u003eI've Got a Cat\u003c\/i\u003e. A taut production and cheerful, simplistic female vocals -- the title includes every piece of lyric -- float over what can realistically be described as a slide guitar gurgling salt water.
